Default Internet Explorer vs. Firefox

Hi everyone.

I have been reading webproworld for a wile know and I’ve learned allot from you guy's <- thanks for all the help, but I have this little thing with IE and FF that’s rubbing me up the wrong way.

I have been designing web site's for the past 4 years in my spare time, I always design my site's to look good in IE, as most of my visitor uses IE, but lately FF is sticking it's head in my business.

Although my sites still looks reasonably ok in FF, I still have problems with the sizes of my designs, everything looks smaller (background image), EX. the last website I done..... Basically should fit on the browser page with no scrolling, in IE it fits perfect, but in FF I get clear spaces on the sides of my design.

Apart from the sizing thing, I’ve been using a DivTag with scrolling Id, so I can have all my content fit in my design, but in IE and FF the divTag seems to start at different points. (as if there is a line brake difference) I also added some code to make my scrollbar in my divTag to colour my scrollbar and this works fine in IE again but not in FF (I researched the FF Forum and they state that they will never add the capability to make that possible )<- Sucks.

http://artnebula.com/<- Example of the problems

Personally I do like FF for its inbuilt download manager, but I think they should work on that browser and make it more web designer friendly. I still prefer IE as my main design template browser.

Is there any solutions for my problems or must I just try to design around the problem.

And something ells about divTag’s with the scrolling id…. Why does the scrollbar disappear when I put a table within the tag, although scrolling still happens, the bar is not visible. < - IE problem.

And why can’t I scroll with my mouse weal inside my divTag scroll area. <- FF problem.
