strange padding in FF

[Ali Babba]

hi all,

i am trying to construct a layout with a footer. now FF shows much
larger padding than set in the css, it appears correctly in IE.
can anyone explain me what i do wrong here ?

here the essential css and html

div.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0;
padding: 3px 100px 3px 100px;
margin: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color: white;
}

div.footer p {
width: 100%;
font-size: 8pt;
}

<div class=footer>
<p>footer</p>
</div>

or see the result here

nevermind, apparently FF got confused by some css from the menu.
(which is strange since they are completely separated ), so killing the
menu brought back the normal flow.
