My question regards a problem with my personal WordPress-powered
website which only persists when viewed with the Firefox browser. I
have spent countless hours debugging the code but could not find the
culprit. The website URL is: http://dinvestor.com. The problem
has to deal with the display of the footer "disclaimer" bar. On MSIE,
it appears at the proper location while not in Firefox. Let me know if
you need more information or specific website files. I'll be happy to
provide them. Thank you for your time!

Here is my css entry for narrowcolumn and a few other related items. I
do not see anything wrong with it.

#page {
	margin: 20px auto 0 auto;
	padding: 0;
	width: 760px;
	height: auto;
	}

.narrowcolumn {
	float: left;
	padding: 0 0 0 30px;
	margin: 0 0 0 0;
	width: 500px;
	}

#footer {
	width: 100%;
	clear: both;
	}

#sidebar
{
	padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
	margin-left: 545px;
	width: 190px;
	height: auto;
	}

the problem is in your styles.css file where you have incorrectly
positioned your left column, the narrow column. When you try removing
this part from the code: <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
things work out. You should look into your css layout.

Hi malcadel-ga,

Thank you so much for your time. I'm not sure what you meant by things
working out when you removed <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
from the code. I tried that and my entire right "nav bar" shifted
below the "narrowcolumn" area (where all the posts are) which is not
what I want.

Here is my css entry for narrowcolumn and a few other related items. I
do not see anything wrong with it.

#page {
	margin: 20px auto 0 auto;
	padding: 0;
	width: 760px;
	height: auto;
	}

.narrowcolumn {
	float: left;
	padding: 0 0 0 30px;
	margin: 0 0 0 0;
	width: 500px;
	}

#footer {
	width: 100%;
	clear: both;
	}

Thanks once again.

I also see that for some reason I have to add an extra </div> right
before <div id="footer"> to make the bottom disclaimer bar appear with
100% width of the browser.

I went through the entire code but cannot find the other unpaired <div> beginning.

Perhaps this might be part of the problem?

Also, this CSS code for my right side bar might help...

#sidebar
{
	padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
	margin-left: 545px;
	width: 190px;
	height: auto;
	}
