New I know.
It seems to be a problem for Gecko-based browsers in general.

A reliable source says that MS do funny things with their CSS line spacing on their KB article pages.

It's definitely not a bug in Gecko, though. MS have got horked and borked HTML throughout their site.

New Not only that
When I went looking through their knoledge base, the first step of the directions was to choose a platform. Which was a good idea, except that the form with all the dropdowns doesn't display in Galeon. Switched to the Windows box and there's the form. Looking at the code, there's nothing there that couldn't be done with straight HTML. There are only two good explanations for why it is done the way it is. 1) They used their own WYSIWIG tools and don't know or care how the tool creates the page. 2) They are actively trying to block gecko-based browsers.
