Unusual occurrences observed with table cell padding in CSS

When I include a TD padding in my CSS like this:

#maincontent table td, #maincontent table th {
    padding: .333em 0 .333em .25em;
}

In Safari and IE, the padding is applied correctly to the TD, but not in Firefox.

If I apply the TD padding only to the TD in the CSS, without including the th, the padding is not consistent across all browsers:

#maincontent table td {
    padding: .333em 0 .333em .25em;
}

Furthermore, changing the order of the td/th does not solve the issue in any browser:

#maincontent table th, #maincontent table td {
    padding: .333em 0 .333em .25em;
}

Why is this behavior so inconsistent? I have only applied a css-reset and some basic styling to the table element itself, without any additional styling to the td, th, tr, tbody or any other table element.
