Wikipedia problem

Hi there, I wonder if any of you could help me with a problem I have viewing pages on Wikipedia. In Firefox the infobox on Wikipedia pages has suddenly stopped wrapping around the text, and appears without borders or colour. I've just tested the same page on Safari, and everything is fine. I've searched online to see if anyone has had the same problem, nothing has come up. I've disabled all add-ons - AdBlock, Greasemonkey, Firebug - nothing different. Before I try and find the right Wikipedia page to ask for help on, I was hoping someone could help me on here.

A few screenshots for comparison.

Safari 5.1: http://up.metropol247.co.uk/102011/1318 ... 615952.png
Firefox 7.0.1: http://up.metropol247.co.uk/102011/1318 ... 695699.png

I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6.8). I am on the release update channel of Firefox.

Here is the page I used for screenshots, but it is happening on any page that has an infobox:

Thanks in advance. It's very annoying.

I don't want to state the obvious, but speaking as a developer, have you considered killing your cache? It looks a bit like an artifact of a dodgy cached CSS file.

Thank you! I've never had to clear mine so it wasn't the most obvious thing to do.
