In my previous post I described a problem I found when viewing Google’s results page in Mozilla Firefox 2. Since Google has adjusted their CSS to prevent the problem, I decided to continue this story here instead of at the previous post.
Firefox 2 renders blocks, of which the position is explicitly set to relative using CSS, on top of blocks that align or float left or right. Blocks without their positions defined fall below the floating block as they should.
I have demonstrated this problem here:
Please view the page above with Firefox 2 to see the described effect.
In this article “Firefox 2″ refers to:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

It appears that Google only fixed google.com, google.co.uk is still broken.

Now that you mention it, it seems that most-if not all-localized versions still contain the CSS that created this behavior in Firefox 2.
