I don`t think its a Firefox-Problem because the w3c.org check shows 24 Errors on
your page http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://petalumaantiques.com and its
not a Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional

Attachment: Testcase similar to Reporter's

I enclose a test case which is reminiscent of your page, grateful if someone
could check it in Konqueror, I suspect that it will render in that browser,
but not in Firefox.

Reporter, it is possible that some of the mis-render is owing to the background

image's being applied to the table. I am speaking from the context of having 
looked at the markup, rather than the design, and whilst this may be too
simplistic, probably not be much: I suggest that you could repair the design, 
and possibly everything by styling the <div> and making the <table> less
complex. This works for me:
<div align="center" style="background-image: url(images/petalumaback.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;">
You might find it better to make use of positioned elements and floats for
those parts of the design that, well, you want to have positioned, and 
floating respectively.

It is possible that I am on the wrong lines, and that backgound images
on tables are meant to repeat in each <td>. This is a 'quirks' thing, and
I am not expressing an opinion one way or another!
