The clearer-div approach isn't giving me a margin below the footer in
FireFox 1.5.

But what you could try is kill the &nbsp; inside the clearing DIV
element and instead apply a 1px bottom padding on the div and then a
-1px bottom margin, although the negative margin isn't necessary. That
seems to work well on several platforms.
