Just a guess but your problem might exist because you don't specify font. Windows has different default fonts than Ubuntu -> Words might become too wide if the font used is different -> Problem.
So something like font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; might do the trick. But that doesn't solve anything if user doesn't have Times New Roman installed (like out-of-the-box Ubuntu). When Times New Roman isn't available is defaults back to the problematic font.
Aww, web design and lovely quirks <3.

Btw. it looks okay in Opera (in Ubuntu that is) so it seems that Opera is picking up different serif default font than Firefox.

Btw. font-face: might also help you, but it's quite new thing so old browsers are in trouble with that.
