: you've placed your <img> inside a <p>, which has a margin that you 
: didn't get rid of.  adding p {margin: 0;} gets rid of it.  I'm guessing 
: IE is collapsing the margin from your <p> with the <body> and firefox isn't.

As you're new to this may be a tip will help:

when designing your pages it pays to zero out browser defaults, as they are
different and the same mark up can produce different ( but legitimate ) results.

I also recommend you read up on IE bugs, it will save you hours of frustration
in the long run.
