This is a issue of overflow. The divs with the colored background all have fixed
pixel sizes set. The content of those divs however is obviously larger then those.

1 (mailBussero) = width: 210px; height: 54px;
2 (mailCrema) = width: 128px; height: 26px; 
3 (mailBergamo) = width: 128px; height: 26px; 

To fix either adjust your height and width declarations to fit the content,
remove them completely, or explicitly set a different overflow setting. (my
suggestion, make the width large enough to fit the wider content and leave
height out)

Unless this is a bug to change the default setting for overflow in mozilla.

The bug is the difference between background area and content area.

Having the options of chopping the content or growing the backgroung is better
to preserve the content and grow the background to match the content.

With this the fixed size becomes a "at least this size".

About the workaround it can be an hint for the people of http://80.16.226.66/ 
where I found the behaviour.
