If you go to a Wikipedia article that has multiple columns in the References section, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_A ... _Flight_77 in Firefox 3, and then you refresh it, then the bottom of the page should be cut off. Do a hard refresh again to see how the bottom of the page is supposed to appear.
Has this bug been reported yet? If not, then I guess I will report it, unless someone who is more familiar with Bugzilla is willing to do so
Some screenshots (NOT made by me) depicting the issue:

I have added screenshots to the first post. Please check them out to make sure that's not how it appears for you.
My specs are Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0, while another user is using Firefox 3.0 on Windows Vista.

I get the External links and below on first load, even with clearing private data. The star stays put and end of article is still there when clicking on [Article]
You need to update your forum signature as it has 3.0b5 there when the UA of the browser you used to post with is in bottom right.

Re: Multicolumn bug in Firefox 3
Are you using a nightly? Maybe the next version will solve this, then.

Yes I am using the 1.9.0.x Branch nightlies as the unstable Trunk nightlies for 3.1 is something I do not really feel like using much at the moment despite having used thousands of nightlies over time.

Re: Multicolumn bug in Firefox 3
I don't see any problems here either using 3.1a1pre builds. The only thing that is strange is that at the bottom where the columns of references are listed I only see 2 columns, not 3 as shown in the screen shots. Perhaps the image was capped from a wide-screen monitor ?

Nope, it was changed recently to 2 columns because if it is 3 or more then the problems I described above will occur. If it's 2 or less, then they won't, for some reason.
