They're only slightly bigger than they should be but it's enough to break page layouts. I've been doing some more reading and it appears that it's something to do with the default CSS for the web browser, as I don't have a "reset" section at the top of my CSS. Maybe that's my fault, but the bigger picutre question is "why does Firefox for Linux" show different to everyone else, including Firefox on any other platform?

Have you got an example URL that you're saying obviously misrenders in firefox? Does it still misbehave if you run firefox in safe mode with a new profile, say be doing: firefox --ProfileManager --safe-mode ? jh

Presumably this is because I don't include a CCS Reset Stylesheet so therefore rely on the browser defaults. There have been other broken sites but I can't recollect any at the moment. I'm guessnig at my problem arrises because for some reason at some point Firefox have changed a CSS default. Very frustrating as controlling the appearance of buttons through CSS to get exactly what you want seems very hard. I've managed to get the button looking right, but the text is wrong, or the text looks right but the button is wrong. Many people seem to have gone down the route of having clickable DIV's or A's which from a purist point of view just seems wrong. A button should be a button, a link a link.
