I recently discovered this same problem and it is indeed a bug

that we're stuck using ugly solutions to fix it. I found that
wraping an
extra clearing container around the original within a fieldset
works. It's
definitely ugly but seems necessary at this point. So instead of
<div class="clear"></div>
to clear two floating items within a fieldset, its
<div class="clear"><div class="clear"></div></div>
or however you're clearing your elements. Adding that wrapper
container
seems to do the trick. I did manage to find a bug report of this on
the
Mozilla site here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309550
Given that the OP use a definition list, there is a simple/clean way
to fix the problem caused by that bug.
Set the dl to {display:table}
<http://dev.l-c-n.com/Gecko/fieldset-clear-309550.php>
You may need to set a width on the dl to avoid shrink-wrapping.
