Yikes ! there's something wrong with your display of the display
introduced by bug 7979 !!! (and I understand why you're complaining now).
Attached is how it look for (all of ?) us. The menus are on the RIGHT of
the news, not BELOW !

which version of FF are you using ? any idea welcomed !

Paul - merci d'avoir répondu ...

FF is version 11.0 (the latest, I think).  Now to the nitty gritty.  The html|css layout employs nested <div>s which are much more difficult to control across varying sized monitors compared to a <table width="100%">. The <div> does not resize vertical height to respect an overall width -- if you want to do that you have to introduce a horizontal scroll bar (js?) which can get ugly -- whereas the <table> will wrap text wherever it can to respect fixed width.
