When i create a site using iweb i use shadow on object etc. Fire fox displays the shadow as a box even if the image it is shadowing is a circle or any shape. shadowing is always a horizontal box even if the image is a box at an angle. This does not happen oon safari and others

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a shadow in iWeb
2.publish page
3.see the shadow does not corrolate
Actual Results:  
if the image is a circle the shadow remains a square, if the image is at an angle the shadow remains square and horizontal

Expected Results:  
shadow should follow the image out line not a square frame that does not exist.

I love firefox, and so do so many people. But it is effecting my site and makes it look rubbish and like i dont know what i am doing.

To make any progress here you should attach a minimized test case.

Sorry i dont know how to do that. Would you like me to send a screen shot?
I am currently uploading what i am wanting as a Home page. I clicked preview and thats when I saw the shadowing and thought something needs to be done. In about 5 min the new home page will be up with some text boxes at a 45 degree angle but the shadow will be horizontal

There is also a ribbon top left, which is the main logo. the shadw was to follow the points of the object where as they only are in two shadow boxes

Are you using an older version of iWeb (judging from the screenshot) ? If so, this is a duplicate of bug 405903 (which also shows a workaround).

no that post doesnt mention anything to do with what i have brought up. The bug from 2007 was about photo themselves not showing. My bug report is that shadowing on any shape stays square. I am using the latest iWeb 09 also known as 3.0.1 (thought they might have released a new one yesterday but it was just the iPad.)

Here is a screen shot using Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Safari. As you can see Chrome has worked out that shadow is to follow the shape. Opera does not show shadow which is a shame but it looks better than shadow in the wrong place as shown in firefox. I am not disrespecting Firefox as its my no.1 choice but i cant promote it if it makes my webiste look rubbish ( i know it looks rubbish anyway but i am no webmaster, thus i use iWeb)
