[Bug 812914] [NEW] Firefox 5 wrongly displays some pages too tall with large blank area between top text and bottom text

[Stanley Sokolow]

Public bug reported:

Sometimes Firefox 5 renders pages as extremely tall pages with large
whitespace gap between top content and the rest of the content, which in
contrast Chromium displays correctly.   Here's an example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz,_California .   See screenshot
submitted below, showing Chromium on left and Firefox 5 on right
displaying same URL top of page.   Scrolling down the Firefox page will
eventually reach the missing content, but only after a very large amount
of blank space.  Firefox version is up to date:  5.0+build1+nobinonly-
0ubuntu0.11.04.2 .
