“Spaces” is probably a better word than “blanks.” Someone else has this problem (unless you are GStubbs43 at ubuntuforums.org):
large spaces in firefox http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839221 ** Summary changed: - blanks become tab characters + Spaces are too wide ** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 - Pages, menus and dropdown menus don't show up correctly : blanks become tab characters with the width of about 3 blanks. Changing the character encoding doesn't help nor does the use of the KDE3 window manager instead of Gnome. Disabling the add-ons has no effect either. Websites are therefore hard to read and I don't know + Pages, menus and dropdown menus don't show up correctly : spaces resemble tab characters with the width of about 3 spaces. Changing the character encoding doesn't help nor does the use of the KDE3 window manager instead of Gnome. Disabling the add-ons has no effect either. Websites are therefore hard to read and I don't know what caused the problem. Furthermore, Firefox crashes more often than before : I had several crashes today, this had never happened with Firefox2. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron with a Gnome and KDE3 Desktop.
