It already has it, but firefox ignores it if the display isn't block,

just said).

If you set the display value for the caption to 'block', then it is not a 'table-caption' [1] anymore..., and Firefox, Opera, Safari do display it wherever they feel like, still part of the table anonymous block, but they'll attempt to build a tr/td around it according to the rules in 17.2 [2].

Next, if you want to positioning something absolute within the table-block, you'll bump into an old Gecko bug, where a table-element cannot act as a 'nearest positioned ancestor' for the AP element [3].

Plus, a table caption cannot contain block level elements (your h5).
