Tag wiki excerpts have been getting displayed improperly in Firefox 10.0.2 for the past three hours or so. They're being shown as tall boxes (divs) on the left side of the screen instead of short boxes using the full width of the column. It's wasting a lot of space in the middle of the screen. Here's a screenshot:

This is the correct layout, which I can see in Internet Explorer and another copy of Firefox:

Reset to default

Your text zoom level may be off - reset the zoom level by:

reset zoom

If you want to zoom use the browser zoom which zooms the entire page, not just the fonts (CTRL-+)

    I see the same issue with the same version of Firefox, and resetting the zoom does not change the behavior. I also notice that this happens only on some excerpts (e.g. I see the extra space when viewing questions tagged wireshark, but not questions tagged elf).

  • Font zoom by ±1 has historically been considered "supported" here. Has this changed?

as @Popular Demand you are right, this about Font used by WebServices, this feature is possible to disabling in the Mozilla Firefox, notice preview of majorities from web sites is more than terrible ..., I'd have to live with buggy preview :-)

by default is checked option Allow pages to choose their own fonts with output to the screen

enter image description here 

Disabling this option will force all sites to use your default fonts instead.

then output to the screen is (Font Times New Roman)
