I just try again and I get the same screenshot as you madbiologist, probably a change by the website author.
But anyway I haven't any add-on, I'm on a clean installation of Ubuntu.
In fact, that was a friend of mine who said "I didn't understand your link, I use Ubuntu 10.04." since he didn't have a LP account, I've installed an Ubuntu 10.04 on VirtualBox to find where the bug come from.

I understand the philosophical problem, but why chromiun-browser was
still updated from upstream and no Firefox?

Firefox is version 3.6 and this branch isn't supported anymore by Mozilla but Ubuntu still provide it, and Chromium Browser is version 15 into the repository because the older release aren't supported anymore by chromium team. 
You do not feel there is a problem there?

Title:
  Firefox is too old on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Firefox 3.6.23 is too old on Ubuntu LTS 10.04.3 stable and it can't display some website correctly.
  Look screen-shot in attachment or do it yourself by visiting this website (fr) http://www.firasofting.com/blog/2011/dennis-ritchie-est-mort-et-tout-le-monde-sen-fout/

  Updating to Firefox 7.0.1 from PPA fix the problems, but you can't
  neither say to John Doe upgrade manually Firefox using a PPA nor
  upgrade Ubuntu (remember the meaning of LTS ;-))!

  Maybe this website isn't w3 valid (I haven't check) but it's display
  correctly on Chromium, on Firefox 7.0.1 (on the same LTS, using PPA
  mozillateam) (and even on the bad and ugly Internet Explorer!) and
  saying to John Doe family's "Yes, until yesterday you was using
  Firefox at home, at your work, anywhere, you've synced all of your
  bookmarks/password/etc using firefox-sync, but because of Firefox in
  Ubuntu isn't up to date you should now use Chromium/Opera/Other."
  isn't a solution!

  Regards,
  Aymeric.
