I am not able to reproduce this on Firefox 33. Showing Firefox and Chrome for comparison.

FF says it uses DejaVu Sans system font. This is <pre></pre> area, so only monospaced font should be used.
As I understand from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DejaVu_fonts , only some DejaVu fonts are monospaced (ex. DejaVu Sans Mono), and one used by FF isn't.

This looks like a bug in FF. I am on FreeBSD, you might be on different system, so behavior is different.

Thanks, I've found we also have a bug at T6109 which I've submitted a diff for. At least, once it lands you should be able to force your font choice even if FF doesn't recognize it as 'monospace'.
