This website is powered by Wordpress with a custom HTML5/CSS3 theme. However, even after various attempts to debug and recode, the navigation menu (based on WP3's built-in menu feature) fails to render in Firefox, where it renders normally in Safari & Chrome.

Looks like a missing ')' in one of the style rules that causes Firefxo to skip all subsequnt rules in that file.

-moz-gradient(linear,10% 0,10% 100%,from(#d9d9d9),to(#ababab);

instead of:

-moz-gradient(linear,10% 0,10% 100%,from(#d9d9d9),to(#ababab));

You can see that in the Error Console.

Such a giant mistery, such a tiny problem.

Thank you cor-el.

You're welcome.

Firefox allows you to find such a typo using the error console, but other browsers seem to ignore it.
