I'd say it's probably caused by a margin on the first element.  You
could try setting h2 margin: 0;

dunno if it's FF or IE at fault here, but I know which one I'd bet on :)

I colored the sections to identify the problem more clearly.  Note that
between the header and the main content there is a margin.  The left
menu is floated.  Any block level elements (header, paragraph) on the
first line of the main content area will cause the margin to appear.  A
simple <br /> tag will prevent the margin from appearing as will inline
elements or just plain text.  Block level elements on any other line do
not seem to cause this problem.

I can see what causes the problem, I am just now sure why this is
happening.  One suggestion has been to add this to change the content
class to this:

.content {
        background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
        width: 640px;
        margin-left: 155px;
        padding-left: 5px;
        padding-top: 0.1px;
}
