Actually, my FF shows the same as the Chrome in your example. I have not 
modded my FF.

I like the look on your FF version, and as far as the Deutsch, the title 
just needs to separate the "allplatforms" to "all-platforms" and IMO it 
would work just like the EN DVD title.

I don't think the fix you suggested would work. You suggested for 
example that there be a better description in the text above the 
buttons. However, the text is generic and is worded to fit the direct 
download of LibreOffice v.x.x.x.x and not the DVD's.

I think the simplest fix would be to shorten the DVD title to a 
reasonable length.

Erich:
Is there a way for you to tell us a number of allowable characters that 
would fit before it spills out of the button? If I counted right, the EN 
DVD title is 67 characters long. Perhaps keeping it to 45 characters 
long would allow enough "just in case" spaces just in case some users 
did mod their browsers.

Tim:
For example, as it stands now, if we were to keep to 45 characters-long, 
the present title would end as 
"LO-4.0.0_English-NA-DVD_ALL-Plaforms_Multi-L" You would have to rework 
your title to fit that length. For example you could rename it as: 
"LibOx-4.0.0_English_NA-DVD_AllPlatforms-Lang" =45 characters with no 
mention of extras, or v.1.ISO <--no really sure if you need this ISO 
number here, it's really for your own information.
