Near the end, the text is overlaid by test that is supposed to be at the
very bottom of the page. IE6 renders it properly.

Is this a Firefox 1.0.5.6 problem or something wrong with my configuration?

Yes, but then it is too small to read! What is wrong?

Neither. The page specified that the main part of the page (contained in
a DIV element) should be 1412 pixels high. The footer part starts just
after that.
Firefox respects the specified height of the DIV and starts rendering
the footer somewhere 1400+ pixels from the top. This causes the footer
to overlay the main part (which actually is approx. 3000 pixels high
with the font size specified by the page).
So, you could say that there's a problem with the page.

If you decrease the text size it fixes it.
