That's weird, because Mozilla *looks* like Firebird now. Even the way
it's rendering fonts is the same; my site looks slightly different, and
the fonts in tab titles and so forth is the same as it is in Firebird. I
realize that this could be due to something at a layer below Mozilla and
Firebird -- like Gnome -- but that would be weird, because Firebird was
doing this before Mozilla was. If it were something below both browsers,
wouldn't we expect the difference to show up in both at the same time?

It happens almost all the time, and yes it's reliably reproducible.

I upgraded everything just yesterday.
