You have overlooked what Franky wrote about 'a "clearing" div just
before the end of the wrapper, so the border lines will extend to the
bottom'.

So, you'll have to tell Firefox (and Opera and Safari etc.) to 'contain
floats' within the specific container.
Containers like your #wrapperoutside will otherwise *not* 'expand to
contain floats' - except that it does in IE/win because of the
'hasLayout'[1] bug. IE's buggy behavior is enough to fool us all at
first glance.


You _can_ do without such a "clearing" div, and instead use one of the
other options for 'containing floats'.
The following will work in your case...

#wrapperoutside {overflow: hidden;}
* html #wrapperoutside {overflow: visible;}

...based on the establishment of a new block formatting contexts[2].
Older IE versions do not understand standards on this point and may have
serious problems with the 'hidden' part, so the second line is there to
save old IE from its own bugs.
