Firefox, does not seem to display the table with scrolling correctly. Safari, and Chrome

Firefox, does not seem to display the table with scrolling correctly. Safari, and Chrome are both displaying as expected, where they add a scroll bar for overflow-x. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting Firefox to respond?

<tr>
<td  colspan="5" style="max-width:980px; overflow-x: scroll; white-space: nowrap; ">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
</table>
</td>
</tr>

    It sometimes happens that you cannot directly work on table cells (even though the specs say you should be able to do that). As a workaround, you can introduce an element that contains all of the contents of the cell and set properties on it, e.g.

    <td  colspan="5"><div style="max-width:980px; overflow-x: scroll; white-space: nowrap; ">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
  ...
</table></div>
</td>

    This workaround seems to help on Firefox (and on IE).
