<hr> misalignment

I got my horizontal menu up and going thanks to the advice I received on this forum. I have another question. When I add a <hr> after my menu_box div it looks like the <hr> is coming out of the right side of my horizontal menu when I look at it in FF. In IE it looks okay. Why is there this discrepancy and how do I fix it? Here is my code...

CSS code:

#menu_box{
width:675px;
margin:0 auto;
}

#menu_box ul{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

#menu_box li{
float: left;
list-style-type: none;
}

#menu_box a{
text-align:center;
display: block;
font: 900 9pt arial;
width:125px;
text-decoration:none;
color:#ffffff;
background-color:#000075;
padding:4px 4px;
border:1px solid #ffffff;
}

#menu_box a:hover{
background-color:#850000;
}

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<body>

<div id="menu_box">
