It's an invalid bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22274 .
Use IMG { display: block } to avoid this behavior or do not
use a doctype triggering standards mode (e.g. HTML 4.0 instead
of HTML 4.01 or doctype without URI in it).
BTW, don't use things like <IMG /> in HTML. It's an X(HT)ML
only construct and you'll get problems once I fix
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94284 .
