And they need two lines in IE but try to fit in one in FF. Perhaps thats
the problem? Try to specify a width for the tables so FF has to break
them into a second line. Can use min-width here, it's ignored in IE so
it shouldn't cause new problems.

Not a good idea to use a IE-only property to fix a problem in FF... ;-)

Can use overflow:hidden on the cells, the images shouldn't overlap then,
but they aren't shown completely anymore.
