"How do the latest versions of each browser compare? For this prizefight, we looked at Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's first new Internet browser since 2001 and Mozilla Firefox 2, Mozilla's update of its popular Firefox 1.5 browser released in November 2005." This will be the last Firefox 2 vs. IE7 article. I promise.

"BTW, as I write this, the current home page for MSDN (www.msdn.com, which redirects to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx) has two annoucements at the top, "Internet Explorer 7 Language Versions Now Available to Download" and "Windows Vista Application Compatibility Cookbook". Both of those titles are underlined. Firefox is screwing up the underlines, as they appear too far below the text, actually passing through the text on the following line. IE6, Opera, and Safari have no problems at all with the page. What's up with that?"
I can report that on Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft, the default browser Konqueror renders this page fine. Firefox 2.0 as you report for some font sizes as one zooms in & out the underline is too low. At no time does it go so low as to pass through the text on the following line.
Possibly due to a weirdness of ASP.

A couple of very minor quibbles with firefox rendering compared to IE7's lack of support for web standards. After all, firefox at least does render all these pages.
