It's a difference in the way browsers are collapsing whitespace in the
<pre>.

In the source you've got a newline after "msgid_only=google". Firefox
is leaving that in, hence the gap, Konqueror isn't (but should be-- it
sounds like they've already fixed it).

If you change the source to msgid_only=google</code></pre>

like that, with no newline between google and </code>, the gap goes away
in Firefox too.

Then you can put the gap back with some padding and it should look the
same in both.
