See the added image showing how IE shows the border correctly on the left, while Firefox on the right seems to paint over the borders viewing the same website file. Is there a fix?

Hi, Firefox requires units on dimensions in style rules, unfortunately it does not simply default to pixels. Try adding px:

style="border: 20px double #FF6600"

Unfortunately, the image upload failed. You can attach an image to a reply to yourself: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078691#question-reply

If you can provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem (or a simplified test case), that might also help.
