I'm using Firefox 38.8.0, which is probably much older than you have. I notice that you didn't mention IE; while I dislike it and microsoft has deprecated it, there are still people using it due to problems with edge, so you might want to include it in what you're testing.
Is there enough of a difference between Chromium and Chrome to warrant separate testing? It works much better on Linux, with Firefox 68.7.0esr. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

That's strange. It looks okay to me on Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, so I'm not sure what the problem is on your end. If others notice the same behavior, I'll look into if it's a problem on the content or site end.
