I just have to hit refresh an extra time and it works. Its a ploy to get more 'hits' to /. ? ;)

Well known problem with firefox/gecko and /.
IIRC it happens because the gecko engine starts rendering the content
before receiving all of the data, which is not a particularly bad
thing, because on most websites it means you will get to see the
webpage a little earlier especially if your net connection is slow.
Unfortunately, with the way /. is written, while perfectly valid html, when the browser starts rendering too early, sometimes space are allocated wrong on the display agent (has something to do with the fact that the space for the side panels are allocated dynamically or something... anyway the important part is that the width for the side panels is not hard coded) and pushes content that comes in AFTER the rendering started to other places: i.e. to one of the black background areas around the border.
Now if only slashcode is build using some sane CSS...
There might be a problem with "./" but this behavior wasn't effecting Firefox 1.0.0 (at least in my case). So Firefox 1.0.1 must have done some "negative" improvement that is causing this effect :-/
