This should work in those browsers too. But if not, you can safely use
the commented backslash hack for ie mac. The browser is dead and using
hacks for dead browsers is somehow safe.

maybe you need to set overflow:hidden; ?

These browsers are right. And yes, it is because of the specificity.

#content p is more specific than .lastpara and therefore overrides the
padding value. You already found the cure, so simply use it, it's
correct.
