This is a very complicated problem having to do with inline elements. The CSS rule table.someclass img { vertical-align: top; } stops the behavior you describe. I think Mozilla's behavior is actually correct. What is happening is that the images are within A elements, which are inline elements, and are baseline-aligned within those A elements. This means that there is room below the images for text descenders of any text that would be in the A elements (and for that matter, also the half-leading from line-height minus font-size). Since table cell heights are minimum heights, not enforced heights, the table cells with images that are anchors end up being bigger than 31px. I will attach test cases. I'm not sure whether you should do anything about this.
