The url you gave was 404 so I presume you mean:
http://www.pottstownmainevent.com/Directions.html

The only difference I see between http://www.pottstownmainevent.com/ and http://www.pottstownmainevent.com/Directions.html is a minor alignment change because one of the tables is set to 99% and the other to 100%

Am I missing something?

So your saying on your computer using mozilla firefox the two pages (home&directions) show up the same?  On my computer directions is 40% +/- oversized.  I did in fact change it to 99% hoping it would spring it back.  If that is the case, what do I do on my machine to get it to look right?

Ah, my high resolution monitor was hiding the problem...
It's the nowrap="nowrap" that is stopping the line of text from wrapping and causing the effect that I believe you are describing.

Well...it is fixed, but the nowrap was not checked.  I did a hard return on some of the text and it fixed it...You are good.  Thank you

The effect is still there - you just have to get to reduce your window width further to see it now (below about 680 pixels)

It's this line:
<td width="79%" align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
which affects the main cell and:
<th height="52" valign="baseline" nowrap="nowrap" bordercolor="#006600" bgcolor="00cc99" scope="row">
which affects the title.

but I don't know Dreamweaver so i don't know where the option is...
Regardless this is an issue with your page and not a Firefox bug -> INVALID

Thank you for your help, sorry if it was a waste of your time, however since the problem did not appear on AE7, I assumed it was a Firefox problem. Im not sure what your role is there, but you were a great help to me and I love firefox and have convinced several people to use it over MS IE.  Thank you again.
