I was tracking it since it's a perceived regression in Firefox.  The
fault is bad code on the site, but it looks like it fails due to the
upgrade.

Bug description:
  This worked well in Firefox 4. It works well in the latest version of
  Chromium. It looks alright in Opera Next, but doesn't seem to work
  though. In FF (the stable as well as the Aurora channel updates),
  however, the slider looks completely weird as you can see if you go to
  that page (also in the attached screenshot).

  Perhaps this is an issue with web standards compliance on Apple's
  part, but if a website as popular as that one doesn't look right, I
  suppose it might be a problem for the users of FF. Therefore, I
  thought it might be worth highlighting it. I did highlight this in the
  feedback form when I was using 5.0 alpha versions too, but looks like
  it somehow got overlooked.
