Firefox renders differently from Safari

I have a little html code that produces two similar paragraphs. The only structural difference in the two paragraphs is

a line-end appears in the second paragraph between the two /font tags.

I expected the line-end to be treated as white space and ignored. It is ignored in Safari Version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5), but it is not ignored in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12).

When rendered in Firefox, the second line in the second paragraph appears just a little bit lower below its first line than in the first paragraph.

Here's the html (How can I get it not to render?): 

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p><font face="Arial">This is the 1st line in the 1st paragraph.<br />
<font size="2">This line is just below it.</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">This is the 1st line in the 2nd paragraph.<br />
<font size="2">This line renders lower in Firefox.</font>
</font></p>
</body>
</html>
