The error console in Firefox 1.5 now flags all CSS /errors/ it sees  
in the stylesheet. The word /error/ is a bit of a misnomer: it  
includes real errors:
  {backgrond:... /* spellcheck ! :-)*/},
but also all property/value pairs that Gecko does not understand, or  
doesn't know about (such as: {display:inline-block})

{display:inline-table} happens to be such a property/value pair. Is  
is not supported by Firefox, and the error console kindly tells you:  
look, I can't do anything with that..., I'll just skip over it.

In the upcoming Firefox 1.5.0.1, this message will be changed to a  
*warning* instead of an *error*.

Nothing to worry about.

If you are a frequent user of the error console, consider *upgrading*  
it:
