This is the exact reason why there is a new menu in DNN 6: DDR menu.
You should be able to use it in DNN 5 too withhout changing any of your CSS.
That should also solve the FF5 issue as DDR contrary to NAV does not do any browser sniffing.

I posted earlier in this thread with the same problem.  I thought, oh great, I'll install it, it will wreck the menu and I'll have to start over styling it.

I bit the bullet and installed the latest DDR Menu on two sites.  I changed TWO CHARACTERS in the HTML skin.  Uploaded, re-parsed, and it was PERFECT.  Even had a new animation to the drop-down.

Your mileage may vary, but so far I am a believer in the DDR Menu

Switching to the DDR Menu may be true for default installations and/or less complicated skins. Many purchased skins will not function with the new DDR Menu and need updating by the skin developer if you are not experienced enough to fix the CSS yourself. To name one in particular the most popular "SkinLab and Morpheus" solution is not supported yet.

I agree everyone with this issue should attempt to upgrade the provider as Tiomo suggests but with caution. You may get lucky. Make a backup of your skin files first of course.

Changing DNNMenuNavigationProvider for DDRMenuNavigationProviderDid not work at all for us. On DNN6:

An error has occurred. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Couldn't load menu style '': System.Web.HttpException: '*menudef.xml' is not a valid virtual path. at System.Web.VirtualPath.Create(String virtualPath, VirtualPathOptions options) at System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath(String path) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromManifest(String manifestUrl) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromName(String templateName, String manifestName) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) ---> System.ApplicationException: Couldn't load menu style '': System.Web.HttpException: '*menudef.xml' is not a valid virtual path. at System.Web.VirtualPath.Create(String virtualPath, VirtualPathOptions options) at System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath(String path) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromManifest(String manifestUrl) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromName(String templateName, String manifestName) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.SkinObject.OnPreRender(EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

On DNN5 , broke the portal completely. We had to delete all files on the skin folder and reinstall the skins with DNNMenuNavigationProvider to have it work again.

As Yoda would say: "Very unhappy bunnies we are..." =/

There is a fix but does require you to more or less re style the menu. You can use custom attributes and turn the DNN Nav menu into an unordered list.

1. Add this to you ascx file:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" Namespace="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins" Assembly="DotNetNuke" %>

2. between your <dnn:Nav ........>

add this:   

<CustomAttributes>                                   
                       <dnn:CustomAttribute Name="RenderMode" Value="UnorderedList"/>
</CustomAttributes>

</dnn:NAV>
