There is actually a reason for that line.
Without that compensation, pre text ends up tiny on the majority of
browsers/platforms (try it and see :)
It sounds as though the Firefox default configuration under FreeBSD is
changing the size of pre. I'll have to see if there's a workaround;
simply removing the line will fix Firefox on FreeBSD, but then there'll
be a worse issue with the text being unreadable on most
browsers/platforms. I'll look into this further.
