You might want to install the Firebug extension for Firefox, it can help you track down and "crawl" the website and its objects and hopefully find any weirdness that might be causing the anomalies you're seeing.

Alternatively (or in conjunction) you can set up "weird" background-colors for various areas in your html (like divs or tds or ps or ...whatever) to determine which one is causing the problem - you may have to deal with odd margins or padding - most likely - for floated elements! FF3 changed its observance of CSS from 2 to full 3 to pass the "ACID3" test.

• While all of the answers are helpful, I have selected this answer because it is the most helpful in finding my particular bug.
My bug seems to be related to Javascript Version 1.8. Something in the Javascript 1.7 to Javascript 1.8 upgrade broke my website. I think it is a security related problem

I have already done that and fixed all the errors (except for a couple which I think aren't important).

If you're using CSS, the usual way I debug CSS is, remove ALL CSS statements, then add them back, one by one, until you find the one that causes the problem.

Thanks. Your suggestion is helpful. But, the particular problem I am having appears to be a Javacript 1.8 problem.

It's also very useful to use the "Inspect" function. Click on the Inspect menu, and then click on an element in the page that you think is not displaying correctly. Look on the right for the styles that apply to that element.
Also on the right, click the "Layout" tab - that's an invaluable tool to show what the computed "Box Model" settings are for an element's margins and padding values.
Good luck!
