Why is the attribute "leftmargin" in the HTML body tag ignored by Firefox?
Check f.i. http://www.vaartips.nl/tipa.htm and see the difference (left margin) between FF and IE. De "leftmargin 20" is ignored (not working) in FF (see code of the page)

hello, <body leftmargin="20"> is not html-compliant souce code.
you could add body { margin-left:20px } in the css-style section instead...
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { margin-left:20px }
...
</style>
</head>

The topmargin, bottommargin, leftmargin, and rightmargin attributes on BODY are supported only in quirks mode (bug 9258).
Problem is solved. Thank you!
