Mozilla is not recognizing the text-align and color rules for the HR element. In
my example, the HR should be aligned to the left and red. Mozilla is rendering
it centered and with default text color.

Reproducible: Always

The color issue is already reported (try setting the border and backround instead)

The alignment issue is odd. <hr> is a block, yet the page is in quirks mode,
which makes it somewhat inline-like....  Not sure what the expected rendering is
there (if any, since the quirk here is that <hr> simply does not follow the CSS
box model)

Comment 2

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

in quirks mode, <hr> is an inline element (of sorts)

Text-align shouldn't work the way you're using it if HR is an inline or a block
-- if it's a block, you'd need margins, and if it's an inline you'd need to
specify the text-align for the containing block, not the HR itself.
