And they are caused by using the MediaWiki input format,
which does not ignore the line breaks used in the table between
TDs, which in turn get rendered above the table by FF.

<p><table width="60%"><br />
<tr><br />
<td><strong>Subsystem</strong></td><br />
<td><strong>Stability</strong></td><br />
<td><strong>Feature full</strong></td><br />
<td><strong>Sunit-ready</strong></td><br />
<td><strong>Used day-by-day</strong></td><br />
</tr><br />

Switching to "Filtered HTML" makes that problem go away, but
you'd lose the [[links]] to other pages.
