Pardon, no problem.

Firefox 3.0.4
Firebug 1.2.1

As for what is wrong, I thought that would be a bit obvious from the
screenshots, but no matter, I'll explain.  In the first screenshot,
I'm using the Inspect feature to highlight the h3 element on the page
which should draw a 1px wide bordered box around that element.
Instead, it draws a 4px bordered box around it (with a black border
around the border lines themselves!! - see the screenshot) with an
offset (not actually surrounding the statically positioned element).
If you do an inspect on any other page out there, it puts the box
AROUND the element with a 1px-wide border.

In the second screenshot, I'm simply mousing over the heiarchy list at
the top of the Firebug pane (to the right of the Inspect and Edit
buttons).  This should show the actual margin, padding, border and
content area of the element in question.  Instead, it is showing this
same layered setup but with seemingly no relation to the element in
question!!  For instance, have a look at the greyish-purple layer.
That should be the border.  There is zero border around that h3
implied or otherwise.

Does this help explain the issues at all?  Sorry about the confusion,
and thank you for taking a moment to look at this.  I've provided the
basic, basic HTML code that reproduces this.  Feel free see if you can
indeed reproduce this if you have the versions of Firefox and Firebug
that I mention above.

Thanks!
