I had a web page that looked the same in both IE and FF. Then the client wanted a new lead-in paragraph and a new picture added at the bottom page. After making the changes, IE displayed all the changes; FF did not display the new lead-in paragraph!!; the source code was still the old page!!
yet the new picture that was added did appear at the bottom of the
page.
Can anyone explain these odd anomalies?
Forever in your debt,

Could be a caching problem. I had something similar to that happen just today. Wait it out and see if the problem still exists.
If so, I suggest validating your code. Could be that IE is ignoring something that allows something to appear, but strict Firefox won't allow display.

CTRL+SHFT+R normally reloads the page without going to the cache. If not, you can clear the cache by clearing private data (CTRL+SHFT+DEL or by going to Tools) and specifying that the cache be cleared too.
If it becomes a huge problem, check your server settings or .htaccess for the headers it's sending. You can make sure the page is reloaded fresh everytime, or every hour or day etc. If changes are irregular, and don't happen often, don't change them, but if changes are regular, look into the cache (http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/).
