Question

Answer 1

+3 A:

I'll bet a beer that the CSS file is not sending the content-type: text/css header. This causes style sheets to not work in Firefox. IE will ignore the content type.

If this is the reason, you should get a warning in the Firefox error console. You can use Firebug's net tab to verify the content-type sent.

As to why the content type isn't sent, this would be a server issue I think. It usually happens when the CSS file is a .php or .asp file that doesn't get assigned the correct content type automatically by the server when delivering.

You won the beer !!! I've set up a handler that handles all requests, so when the browser is asking for .css or images, I have to serve them myself, then I forgot to put the correct ContentType... geez...Thanks a lot you save my day ;D

Answer 2

+1 A:

Navigate to your css file directly in Firefox (http://www.yoursite.com/style.css) and look at your Page Info (Tools >> Page Info).

If the css file is being submitted as text/html, it's an incorrect MIME type (should be text/css) and you will need to contact your server/host administrator to fix this for you if you don't have access to that.
