The only page where I tested -moz-inline-block works fine both in older
Mozillas and in FF1.0PR, so I don't think support for -moz-inline-block has
changed.
I would rather guess a different white-space interpretation (or better line
breaking rules):
you have already stripped all the white space, however adding  "white-space:
nowrap;"
to the container div (#extranavigatie) seems to solve the problem.
Of course I'm far from being sure of this...
