Do you have Javascript turned off? Not having JS turned on would cause that problem.
Run through FF's preferences and check.

I'm also having this problem since a couple of weeks. The text is all messed up. Basically the bold text overlaps a bit the normal text. So I stopped using it and I hate it.
- Safari is insecure.
- iCab is not supported by gmail
- Opera is terribly slow
- All the Mozilla derivatives show the same problem as Firefox

at the bottom of your gmail etc.. do you get a bar with the following options:
Google Mail view: standard with chat | standard without chat | basic HTML
if you do, then just click the "standard with chat" and it should sort you out..
Why do you say Safari is insecure?
You have about a .0001% chance of getting malware from a hole in Safari. Safari is a great browser.
If you really need to, switch to Camino. Its basically Firefox for Macs. (caminobrowser.org)If that doesnt work, download appdelete, and use it to delete firefox and camino. http://osx.iusethis.com/app/appdelete
This will delete all the preferance files, which may be the cause of your trial.
It sounds like you have a local problem.
I think that most of us do. Certainly I do. I am aware of no Safari insecurity. If you are aware of one, then please post a link to it.
You are currently viewing Gmail in basic HTML. Switch to standard view

..... try establish a new profile for firefox. should solve 99.99% firefox's problem, if they are firefox-related.
~/library/application support/firefox
for safety, just rename firefox to something else (firefox should be closed before you operate),
new profile will remove your old bookmarks, passwords, extensions and themes. of which, you can backup your bookmarks and paswords from old profile, while you might need to re-install extensions and themes.
