problems with firefox3 [#290539]

Love the theme!

BUT... since I updated to firefox3, the main div seems to have sizing problems in firefox. This is with both fluid and fixed versions. The width of the main div only extends to the end of the writing. Hence if your page has one word, you get a very thin column of text.

I noticed the main div in the style.css has no fixed width. Can I change this? I know the style.css is used for both versions. But if I choose the fixed, then I should be able to add a width, right?

Please advise. Did I say that I loved the theme? So clear and clean.

I have fixed the width for mysite www.retiredandactive.org simply by puttin a width statement like

#main {
margin: 0 105px 0 205px;
float:left;
border: 8px solid #e7f9fb;
padding: 8px;
background:#FFF;
width: 760px;
}
#sidebar-left {
vertical-align: top;
width: 220px;
float:left;
margin-right:-220px;
position:relative;
font-size: 110%;
}

into its Style.css

(www.yoursite.com/themes/ad_novus/style.css)

I also removed all reference to a right hand sidebar.

This is done in the D5 version but I have used it in D6 just by copying the 'styles.css' file over.

I don't actually use AD Novus in my d6 sites www.retiredbutactive.com and www.lifes3rdphase.com because there are problems with -->admin -->modules that can't be controlled by setting a different administration theme - modules reverts to the main theme and because with such a deep heading band and all the service links above the copy there's insufficiant room above the fold for my purposes.

It is a stunning theme but small problems make it almost unusable
