Not Firefox but IE, IE is improperly ignoring the padding that you put
on the table as Rick pointed out.
The table's padding should be added to the border-spacing for the
exterior table cells in the table. IE is not playing by the rules here. See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#propdef-border-spacing
See for yourself, IE is not applying the 50px padding here:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
<style type="text/css">
TABLE { border: 1px solid #f00; padding: 50px; border-spacing 15px;
background-color: #ff0;}
TD { border: 5px solid #0f0; background-color: #0ff;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>Alpha</td><td>Bravo</td><td>Charlie</td></tr>
<tr><td>Alpha</td><td>Bravo</td><td>Charlie</td></tr>
<tr><td>Alpha</td><td>Bravo</td><td>Charlie</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Take care,
