min-height is what you are missing. Or rather, the issue you see comes from your usage of min-height on your wrapper. And I'm not sure if Firefox, per current spec, is correct (the paragraph in the latest spec is much more filled with ambiguity [1]). The space you see in WebKit / Opera is the margin-bottom on the <p> that contains 'Tagline'. In Gecko based browsers, that margin-bottom is contained within the min-height wrapper (it cannot escape). WebKit allows the margin to collapse through, creating the gap you see.
