Advanced kerning and ligatures are automatically turned ON in Firefox
mac (On FX windows/linux, it only kicks in at 20px font size). This
makes the whole navbar slightly shorter on Fx Mac.
If you want to 'break' (disable) this: use the letter spacing
property. Eg
#nav {letter-spacing: 0.1px}
(and Arial -the used font has on my side- has crummy ligatures; using
Helvetica Neue as David suggests gives nicer and more readable results).
But I wouldn't worry about that navbar being a few pixels shorter on
Fx Mac.
Your site doesn't hold well together for users who set a minimum font-
size higher than 13px, or who zoom in the text to make it more readable.
