Which version of Firefox are you testing ? Gecko 1.9.2.x and older (Fx 3.6)
'understand' the <header> element - that is, it sorta exist in the dom and can
be used for styling purposes - but that is about it. It basically remains an
unknown element, and as such treated as inline. Other older browsers do the
same (e.g. Safari 4, IE < 9,...)
Gecko 2.0, with its html5 parser, treats the element as 'block' by default.

Not 'apparently' but 'surely' :-), as its default display value is inline.
