That's better, though IP addresses in place of domain names make me
suspicious.

You should install e.g. the Web Developer Extension for Firefox so that you
can easily validate any page and don't need to pollute your pages with such
links.

Does the information have to appear in an illegibly small font?

Have you considered whether it would best be marked up as a table, or a
collection of tables? Looks like tabular information to me.

But what is the problem? You should have told what you don't like in the
visual appearance, instead of telling us to compare it on "both" browsers to
find the difference you have in your mind.

So why didn't you stop using it?

But what about the original question? You told there's something wrong but
didn't specify what it was.

On the other hand, creating good markup for the material you actually have
might be the best thing to do first.
