When using overflow:auto and a dev inside a table, FireFox resizes the table instead of adding scrollbars when the div does not fit inside the table

When using a table with a height expressed in pixels, and a div with a height
expressed in a percentage inside one of the cells. Firefox resizes the table
when the div gets too large and overflow is set to auto. Also when the height of
the table is defined by the content of another cell, the same problem occurs.

See the example in the additional information


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a HTML file with the content of the example (see additional
information section)
2. View the HTML file using FireFox (version 1.0.4)

Actual Results:  
You see a table whith the height of the div

Expected Results:  
Since the div is bigger than the height of the table and the overflow property
is set to auto, the table should be the size specified in the HTML code and a
scrollbar should be added to the cell with a too large content

<html>
<body>

<table height="40px">
 <tr>
  <td>
   <br>H<br>I<br>
  </td>
  <td>
   <div border="1" style="height: 100%; overflow: auto;">
    <br>H<br>E<br>L<br>L<br>O<br>
   </div>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>
Is this the same as bug 210657?

Also, per my experimentation, -> Trunk.
