I am experiencing a few problems which do not occur in the Windows version (tested on Vista and Win7) and tested on different Ubuntu machines all at 12.04 Ubuntu.

The main problem seems to be related to positioning of DIVs. DIVs which are meant to follow each other horizontally instead appear on top of each other.

This seems to be related to CSS because the problem only occurs for the application that I am developing, and I have not seen it appear on any external web sites.

One problem that I solved is that CSS border-radius requires that units be specified in Linux but not windows, so: .close-button { 

 -moz-border-radius: 18;
 border-radius: 18;

} Fails in Linux and not in Windows, whereas: .close-button { 

 -moz-border-radius: 18px;
 border-radius: 18px;

} Works in both Windows and Linux.

CSS always requires units, except for zero, so I'm not sure why Firefox on Windows didn't produce the same error...

Some differences between platforms may relate to font differences. However, I don't have a Linux system, so I don't have first-hand experience with particular cases.

The strange thing about the CSS is that no browser than Firefox 17 on Linux failed, Chrome, IE, all work just fine, even Firefox < 17.

I'm sure my problems are basically with CSS, it's just strange that they only show up in Firefox 17 on Linux.
