If you really want a site that will display properly in modern
browsers, your starting point should be the HTML validator at
<http://validator.w3.org>. For example, when I point it at your site,
I get a bunch of errors:
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmembers.cox.net%2Fmdbinc%2Fhome%2Fhome-mdbinc.html>

Now, those errors may or may not be causing the behavior in Firefox
you described, but the first step is to correct the errors.
Proprietary IE tags, for example, won't do anything, or will behave
unexpectedly, in Firefox, but they all show up in the validator as
errors. It's a good starting point.

Hope this helps.
Mike
