In the page at
https://www.google.com/adsense/?hl=en_US&sourceid=aso&subid=us-et-ads the image
and Click here to apply button should line up, and be separated from the next
column on the right by a greyed dotted line.  In Firefox, the image overlaps the
login form.  I suspect a difference between the handling of tables and/or forms 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just go to the webpage in firefox
2. And then go to it in IE
3. Look at the difference!! :-)

Actual Results:  
Image overlapped form on right hand side of page

Expected Results:  
Laid out table/form correctly

I recognise that there is an error in the html see below, but this is google!!
And also at least the way that IE handles this situation looks ok - whereas
Firefoxes doesnt look ok.

I checked the page for html errors, and its clear that there are errors in the
html - however I suggest that if a form starts in the middle of a table,and is
followed by a <td> Firefox should "pretend" that the <td> was before the <form>
tag like IE does
