:first-letter doesn't include $

Hi, setting up a new site and noticed that Firefox seems to ignore the css property of :first-letter when the first letter is a $.

Is this normal behavior? As Safari & Chrome display as expected.

Thanks

Agh! That's so frustrating. Symbols SHOULD be included in the :first-letter spec. I guess I'll have to resort to jquery.
