Bad rendering of some web sites -- problem with the profile?

Hello,

My copy of FF is rendering wrongly some web pages. See for instance the rendering of the Firefox-customized Google:

If I navigate with a clean profile (firefox -ProfileManager), the rendering is perfect. So I suspect that there is some problem with my profile. I cleaned up the history, the cache, tried to start in the safe-mode, but nothing of this fixes the problem. I guess I have to delete/restore some file from my profile to fix the problem, but I don't know which one.

Any help will be much welcome.

Daniel

You may have switched on caret browsing: press F7 to toggle
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works

Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Accessibility: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox

First of all, thank you very much for your answer. It appears that I don't have carte browsing activated, so that the problem must be different....

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

That was it!! Reseting the zoom fixed the problem.

Thank you very much, it was really appreciated!
