Firefox div width niggle (fine in *every* other browser)

Hope I'm asking this in the right place.

I've made a few sites over the years. Time and again, Firefox throws me this problem. It seems to shorten (or sometimes lengthen) the width of my divs by infinitesimal but important margins ...

If you look at the text, say, below the logo on the left-hand side, on Firefox is wraps onto 10 lines, whereas in Opera/Safari/IE/Chrome it fits on 9 (which is what I want). Suffice to say, this is not the only instance of this happening.

Any ideas? Any help much appreciated. As you can see, I'm a novice at this.

It looks to me as if it is the font that has greater width when rendered in bold, small caps by Firefox. The "CONTACT" is 4 pixels wider in FF than IE8. If you really want consistency why not relax that 40px left margin and put in some <br /> breaks? Incidentally: you are probably asking for trouble mixing point and pixel sizes and font names with spaces should be given as 'Times New Roman' in font-family declarations.
