If this is this bug <http://css-class.com/test/css/visformatting/floats/floats-width-auto.htm> then it is also present in Safari (3.2.2). Hacking Firefox 3 is dangerous since particular bugs have been fixed with this version but the hacks are more specific (targeting or filtering) to Gecko engine versions. There is many of them. Anyway how can you hack a fix for this bug? I would think that changing the order of the markup may be better.
