Not supporting certain CSS properties
One one of my windows XP systems firefox 10.0 does NOT render certain CSS properties. Specifically, at www.wbrogden.com the headlines should be in blue. In other tests background images are not rendered but text margins are correct. Firebug shows that the complete CSS file is being read and parsed. I uninstalled and reinstalled from a fresh download. On my second XP system, firefox works as expected.

Firebug itself may occasionally cause problems, have you tried in safemode and with plugins disabled. The fact that you say things work on one XP but not another does tend to suggest the problem is somehow related to your individual setups.
Good suggestion but it does not seem to have fixed the problem! In spite of being uninstalled and reinstalled, with the installation directory deleted first, FireFox seems to have remembered bookmarks etc - how?
Firefox uses two main locations, one is for the program files and one is the profile for user information including bookmarks etc. In a normal upgrade situation firefox will try to retain user information and bookmarks.
It may be worth copying all of the profile the folder and all sub folders and files to a safe location, you may want to use some of the information again later. I would also suggest you consider manually backing up bookmarks, and maybe even consider syncing the computers (but take care if one is problematic).
Information about a clean re-install, including deletion of the profile (you may wish to scroll the rest of the article)
P.S.
easiest way to find profile
- Firefox Button -> Help -> Troubleshooting information -> Profile [Open containing folder]

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
- Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

AHA! That was the key - "allow pages to choose their own colors" I never realized (or maybe remembered) that option was there. Thanks a bunch.
