   When I write a post all of the paragraph breaks disappear in Firefox. I have checked the posts in IE7 and IE6 and it looks great. has anyone ever seen this problem?

   I have tried adding
   </br> where I want the breaks too be and that seems to help Firefox but then screws up IE.

   Here is a link to one of my posts.

   any help would be great.

   The P tags are there but the paragraph breaks for FireFox aren't. This is likely because of the CSS in your theme.

   I was wondering if it might be my CSS. Any suggestions regarding where I should look for the code in my CSS or what I should be looking for?

   Thanks for responding.

   Well, I was going to be a jerk and tell you to do it, but with FireBug this was very easy. You really should install FireBug. All I had to do was hover over the P link to get a full list of it's CSS properties!

   The problem is with this CSS rule:

   * {
   margin-top: 0;
   }

   When I click the disable/enable icon in FireBug it fixed the problem when I disabled that rule. Here is a screenshot: http://s5.tinypic.com/15zldte.jpg

   Just remember to turn FireBug off when not debugging as it slows down JavaScript.
