Older Geckos didn't clear anything with an empty content:''; (and height:0 + overflow:hidden was causing problems as well, iirc, no old versions at hand to check - but where talking about quite old versions, older than Gecko 1.4). Note that that gap we're talking about in this thread is only visible at the bottom of html (body). If one clears float that way in the middle of the page, the subsequent content (below the floats) will abut to the clearer - normal behaviour with 'height:0'.
