First, I'm not a css expert and it has been a while. So...

The Local business results are in a table

Code:

<table class=ts width=100% style="margin-top:7px;line-height:100%">

"class=ts" also appears elsewhere in the page and other Google pages.

sidki has found that, for sidki's mods, the TD elements inside the cells given the 'ts' class must have and not have certain properties

So, sidki uses a separate style sheet that overrules Google's choices with

Code:

.ts td {
  width: auto !important;
  max-width: none !important;
}

The thing is

Code:

<td width=62% valign=top>

follows the google map and its width property is change to "auto" by the style sheet.
When the google map is provided by "<span id=lu_map style="background:url('http://mt0.google.com/vt/data=", the span's image is partially hidden.
When the google map is provided by "<img border="0" width="100%" id="lu_map" alt="" src="http://mt0.google.com/vt/data=", the image is not hidden.
For me, what happens depends on the code that google sends not the browser used. IOW, IE8 renders the span's image as partially hidden and the <img*> as totally visible.
Adding a minimum width property to the span's styling allows the background image to show and doesn't seem to affect the page that uses the img tag.



Your ". + Google Light Blue Theme 10.05.08 (!nn) [ozo] (o.s) PFR [add]" filter contains the css styling.
From what I can decypher, the filter appears to be like sidki's style sheet but without the part causing the problem. So, there may still be problems with Firefox.
Rewriting filters and the required testing...

I think I'd rather add a little css to the style sheet and make better use of our weekend
