Imagine a small massless particle hurtling through space at the speed of light. This is a very small particle (like an electron) and [...]
I found the reason why preformatted text was being double spaced in FireFox. It has to do with how FireFox interpretes the paragraph tag, not the pre tag, which made the problem difficult to find.
