The table has no width set on it.  The cells have 400px widths.  Looking at
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#auto-table-layout, item 2 in the section
on determining table width, we have:

   If the 'table' or 'inline-table' element has 'width: auto', the computed table
   width is the greater of the table's containing block width and MIN.

Where "MIN" is the width needed by the cells.  In this case, that's exactly what
Mozilla is doing.
