Ooops -- didn't see the bullets in your phone number in the upper right hand corner of the page. Do likewise for the symbol characters you're using there.

Hi Mark,
If you're referring to the two bullets you're using in "ENGINEER • WRITER • EDITOR," try replacing the images you're using with this character entity equivalent: • This not only helps ensure text "bullets" will be more cross-browser compatible, but also greatly reduces the amount of code needed to generate the effect.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.

RE thread :: Actual Site Stats - Firefox 2 versus IE 7
My site (www.mdbinc.com) would not display properly on Firefox.
The background showed through the tables as you paged down past the initial
window.
So this made me think about my use of height="100%" tables and DIVs which is
sketchy at best.
Removed these lines from the HTML and CSS and now all is well.
Except that my bullets (using middot) are not showing up in Forefox.
Using the normal 8859-1 charset.
Can use View Source to see what I have.
Any clues for that one ?
