Firefox 2.x issue

Here is example from style.css that FF2.x series cannot handle:
HTML Code:
#top_left_background
{
        background-image: url('images/top_left_background.jpg');
        width: 366px;
        height: 587px;           
        position: absolute;       
        left: 50px;                
        top: 50px;               
        z-index: -3;
}
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue, FF2 cannot seem to know how to display
picture on another. Page that works perfectly with Firefox 3.x and with rest of decent browsers looks very bad with FF2.

I'd add a little code to check the version of FireFox and then write code for FF2 that works, and leave the existing code for FF3.

Sometimes it is much easier to write browser or version specific code than to try to create code that works across all browsers. You can always go back to it later if you have time.

Most people upgrade FF, so it makes sense to spend as little time as possible on FF2.

This is what i did, i wrote check and FF2 used different style.css but my page looked totally different and crappy with FF2

I know that most people upgraded but considering i offer my site layout in my product, i am looking desperately fix to this issue anyway. I have now FF2 banned and it suggest everyone to upgrade who visit my site with an older browser.

Another issue is also IE 6.0, this browser is getting seriously old and have a TON of security issues as well. Still i see people using it...unbeliavable when IE8 been out for some time.
