Only a "WAG". I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 on CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) and just
looked at CNN (International and U.S. versions), with, as you see
at home, no problem(s). Possibly a Graphics issue? Did you "Upgrade"
from CentOS 4.x to 5 or did you do a "Clean" install?  BTW, I had
issues with Firefox 2.x, with Gmail.com for example, that went away,
after I upgraded to CentOS 5.2 and got Firefox 3.x.  I think there
were major library changes, from CentOS 4.x to 5.0 and if you
Upgraded, something may be awry. Possibly remove Firefox and then
install again, in case something is corrupted. GL
