Div sizes

My site is looking good in Chrome and Safari but when I tested my site in FireFox there are divs at different sizes. Any idea on how I can fix this?

Thanks

Yea you need a CSS RESET. Each browser has some built in css classes on each element and it usually causes a lot of problems for cross browser support.

Here is a site with a few to pick from --> http://www.cssreset.com/

Just copy the code and place it at the start of the css file or make a separate css reset file and link it in the html before your other style sheets.

Traditional CSS Resets have issues, these days you should use normalize.css.
