If you read the comments then you'll realise it's actually Google sending down crap:
I opened up Wireshark and found that IE was sending a user agent string of "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0)".
Making Firefox use that string causes Google to mangle the page exactly as shown in your screenshot.
It's apparently the "Trident/7.0" part that throws Google off, because if I manually change just that part to Trident/6.0 it works fine.

#10I found that if you go into "Tools" on the "Menu Bar" and click on "Compatibility View settings" and then un-check the "Use Microsoft compatibility View" the problem goes away as noted below by Chirael.
