I recently downloaded FireFox and like the product in general.  I'm still
working through issues like certain ftp sites report Error 530 on connection
attempt.  

While looking at my website I noticed that table cells are a bit different. 
Attached is an example showing spacing added when viewed with FireFox.  However
if I view it with ie then the layout seems ok.  

The page was created with FrontPage and may need some additional editing to
avoid this but I didn't expect a different layout.

This site is...

I have also included a screen shot with ie.
Here is an example of the problem.
This is an example of the same page in Internet Explorer

These aren't showing padding in table cells, these indented items are a list
within a single cell. IE uses margin-left to indent lists, Mozilla uses
padding-left. The simplest thing in your case is to explicitly set padding-left
to 0px to make Mozilla mimic Frontpage's IE-centric layout.

Or you could put each link in its own table cell and not use a list for this.
