css specificity in firefox

Hello all, I am having trouble with styles in firefox, I usually use IE (i know, i know..) and have recently noticed the trend of firefox uptake and the code doesn't seem to translate very well (quelle suprise).
Can anyone advise me of the differences in specifying the anchor styles because they are not working in firefox..

I'm using the old class selector:
a class="menu"

and then the style is:
a.menu { font-size:10pt ; font-weight:"800"; color:"ffffff"; }
a.menu:hover { color:"ffffff"; }

What we get is the classic blue links as if no styles are applied..

(by the way the anchor's are in tables if anyone knows if that makes any difference)

Thankyou one and allA couple thoughts:

1. Make sure your CSS validates at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator">http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator</a><!-- m --> (sometimes IE lets certain errors slide while other browsers are more ruthless about it).

2. Make sure your firefox browser doesn't have some setting activated that overrides link colors. (Not sure if Firefox has this, think I've seen it in other browsers.)aha what a fool, this document failed utterly..a few changes and we're away, cheers mate
