Firefox 2.0.0.8 CSS bug

October 28th, 2007

A few days ago I discovered one of my websites is broken when viewed using Firefox 2.0.0.8 (latest version at this moment). I haven’t had the time to figure out why it happened but I did check with other browsers and versions and 0.8 seems to be the only release affected.

I noticed Quirksmode linked to a post on F-LOG-GE describing the issue and it seems a bug made its way into this release that fumbles floats with negative margins.

As I was writing this I found a post on Mozilla Developer News that mentions the problem. They’re promising a fix in the new 2.0.0.9 release due out soon and provide a workaround if your site is affected..

Let’s hope most people use autoupdate and I don’t have to do anything ;)
