Try adding

border:1px solid red;
height:600px;

to your "body" definition and you'll see the problem. It's because FF is
(correctly) interpreting that your body has a 0px height (there's only a
single absolutely positioned element in it)...so the vertical center means
"put half of the image in the page, half above the top of the page"
