Different browsers apply different styles by default. I found that resetting both margin and padding to 0 makes both elements equal widths in both Firefox and Chrome.

I personally like to use a minimal CSS reset stylesheet like YUI CSS Reset before attempting to make a design look great in multiple browsers.
