FF Unable to draw tables? or randomly does it right?

Strange… I often get a very weird result within firefox when it comes to using tables.

Now this is just for formatting a certain page, not the site itself. Please don’t counsel me on the benefits of css over tables, etc because i am aware. this is the method i want to use for this one page only.

Often times, i get one column only, other times, i get 2 or 3. It seems like whenever i refresh the page in FF i get something different.

It is supposed to *appear* to be a 5×5 table, but its just a 5×1 table, where the rows just happen to line up perfectly. would it be better to make them all individual cells instead of just 5?

please see this page:

http://tinyurl.com/2gdfvt and scroll to where it says “other artists” — supposed to look 5×5, but it often doesnt. every time i refresh (and just in FF) it either displays correct, all wrong the same, or all wrong all different.

Ironically, in MSIE it is fine! (havent tested on my mac yet!)

please help with this! pulling my hair out! (please also view the source and see if there is anything unusual with the table formatting)
