site design broken with upgrade to FF 9.0.1

more options

I own a wiki website that worked completely fine until I installed FF 9.0.1. (http://www.pharmacydrugguide.com) The left column now is pushed down to display underneath text in the other sections of the page. The site still looks fine in all other browsers. Can someone direct me to what could have possibly changed between versions 8 and 9? Since the site works in all other browsers -- including previous versions of FF -- I am afraid to make changes and break what is working elsewhere. I have tested on multiple computers and the issue is the same on all that have been tested in FF 9.0.1. Thanks for any help/direction!

Please fix FF 9.0.1 and don't expect me to fix the thousands (possibly tens of thousands) of wikis on the internet whose owners are not aware that their sites have this problem! I mean, get real -- telling users with this problem to fix their own mediawiki sites is nuts. What we are telling you is that Firefox 9.0.1 doesn't work with OTHER PEOPLE'S WIKIS -- and we can't change those, now, can we? Geez.
