It seems that firefox/camino/mozilla have a strange behavior with this  
pre element
<pre>
&#x202B; &#1606;&#1588;&#1575;&#1591; 
&#1575;&#1604;&#1578;&#1583;&#1608;&#1610;&#1604; W3C
</pre>

where 2020B is a ctrl char, (RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING here).
The texte is "Internationalization Activity" in Arabic (from your 
example 35)

A solution is to break your texte in two lines !??
<pre>
&#x202B; &#1606;&#1588;&#1575;&#1591;
&#1575;&#1604;&#1578;&#1583;&#1608;&#1610;&#1604; W3C
</pre>

Really strange.
See my example of the  bug in
