Yahoo group not working properly with Firefox

| I belong to several Yahoo groups, among them
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/hazel_court/
With Firefox, the scrolling text at this group's home page is faint and
hard to read. When I view the same URL with Internet Explorer, the text is
green and bold, as it's supposed to be.
Is there a fix for this glitch, or is this just one of the small
number of websites that aren't 100% compatible with Firefox? For the
record, I'm using version 1.04.

I am also using 1.0.4. Everything looked fine when I viewed
ttp://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/hazel_court/. Including the
scrolling text.

Was the smaller scrolling text bright green? On my PC using Firefox it
is dark grey.

I think this is a problem in the html for this site. The color is
assigned using this statement:
<font color="##ffff00" size="+1">
There is an extra '#' in that statement. IE is guessing that the page
author intended green (#0FFF00), Firefox is making it grey (#333333),
probably a defualt color or something. My guess is that they meant
#FFFF00 which is actually yellow.
