FireFox does not Wrap My Text Properly

My text is placed inside a table, with a maxium width of 419 pixels.

It works Perfectly in IE, but Firefox is totally different.

When in Firefox, the browser will not wrap the text, (Not one long word, broken up by spaces and words) will just display one long line of text, but in IE it wraps the text and displays it in 2 or 3 lines of text with in 419 pixels.

Here is the link: < Sorry, no personal links >

All the other pages are FINE, BUT any pages that are included in the History - Past Games are all not wrapped properly in FireFox.

Hello, and welcome to the forums.

The first thing I would do in any cross-browser display problem is make sure that the mark-up validates - warnings can be OK, but there should at least be no gross errors. Otherwise you can spin your wheels forever.

W3C Validator - HTML [validator.w3.org]
W3C Validator - CSS [jigsaw.w3.org]

Firefox tend to treat pages in a more standards compliant way than Explorer does, so your mark-up may be depending on IS's non-standard treatment. The validators will let you know.
