Gecko obviously has a problem, and it seems to be related to 'display:
table;' on #twoColumnBody.
I have observed several weaknesses in Gecko when using that property,
but I haven't narrowed it down further than to an instability in Moz/Fx.

Two "fixes" seem to work in Firefox 2.0 and Mozilla 1.7.12.
1: Adding specificity to the floating side-nav...
#leftNav {
float: left!important;
}
2: Changing float-containment solution on the container...
#twoColumnBody {
/* display:table; <-- delete this */
overflow: hidden; /* <-- use this instead */
}
You can of course combine these "fixes". Doing so should not create any
problems for other, relatively new, browsers.
If you use the second "fix", then you should also add...
* html #twoColumnBody {
overflow: visible;
}
...if you care about rendering in IE5/5.5.
