Firefox 5 changed display engines to one that is completely 
intolerant of simple html errors.  Leave off a tag close ">" and 
it just ignores the tag without an error.
Use firebug to display the div and see if the tags look right. 
You may see garbage - that will tell you there is a problem, but 
not what it is.
