Firefox size rendering vs other browser

Please see this jsfiddle

HTML:

<body>
<header>
    <div id="top-header">
        <div id="search-div">
            <form method="get" name="search">
                <input value="Search" id="search-button" type="submit">

                <input name="term" id="search-box" type="search">

                <div id="search-options">
                    <ul>
                        <li id="search-option-icon">0</li>
                        <li>1</li>
                        <li>2</li>
                        <li>3</li>
                        <li>4</li>
                        <li>5</li>
                    </ul>
                    <input name="search-type" id="search-type" type="hidden">
                </div>
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="bottom-header">something here</div>
</header>
</body>

CSS:

*{
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    font-size:100%;
   border:0 none;
}

body{
    direction: rtl;
}

header{
    position:relative;
    width:100%;
    height: 80px;
}


/*

*/
header > div{
    width: 100%;
    position:relative;
    position: relative;
}

#top-header{
    background: #9600ee;
    height: 52px;
}

#bottom-header{
    background: white;
    height: 29px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #d5d5d5;
    box-shadow:0 1px 1px #e0e0e0;
}

#img-logo{
    display: inline-block;
}

/*
--------------------------------------------------------
|   header > search-div
--------------------------------------------------------
*/
#search-div{
    width:432px;
    position: absolute;
    top:8px;
    height: 36px;
    left:0;
    right:0;
    margin:auto;
    z-index: 3;
}

#search-options{
    height: 36px;
    width: 49px;
    background: #FFFFFF;
    background: linear-gradient(#FFFFFF,#e6e6e6);
    text-align: center;
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
    cursor: pointer;
    left:0;
}

#search-options > ul > li{
    display: none;
}

#search-option-icon{
    display: block !important;
}

#search-options:hover > ul > li{
    width: 49px;
    background: red;
    display: block;
}

#search-box{
    display: inline-block;
    height: 36px;
    width: 325px;
    right:49px;
    padding:0 5px;
    border-right:1px solid #9600ee;
    border-left: 1px solid #d1d1d1;
}

#search-button{
    height: 100%;
    width: 48px;
    background: #FFFFFF;
    background: linear-gradient(#FFFFFF,#e6e6e6);
    border-radius: 0 2px 2px 0;
}

I am going to create a page that its direction is Right to Left. I don't know why Firefox is showing a different result then other browsers?

What I see in Chrome: enter image description here

What Firefox shows(Firefox 37): enter image description here

What is the problem? And why is Firefox (or my Firefox) showing a different result?

Input elements are rendered depending on the browsers and OS with a different appearance. Chrome seems to apply box-sizing: border-box; to an input element as soon as you change the type to search, but Firefox doesn't do that (currently I would say that Firefox is right about that but I need to check this in the specs).

Firefox does not change the box-sizing for those elements and because the default box-sizing is content-box, the complete outer-width is width + padding + border (for more details you can look here CSS-Tricks: Box Sizing). As of that your #search-box in Firefox does not have an outer-width of 325px.

If you want to have better control about the outer-width of the elements you need to use border-box for box-sizing. You can change the box-sizing for your whole page using :

html {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

*, *:before, *:after {
   box-sizing: inherit;
}

Code from site: Paul Irish: * { Box-sizing: Border-box } FTW

Updated jsfiddle using border-box.

Your #search-div is too narrow, making the elements crammed together. Your search divs are also out of order. I would suggest arranging them in the order of search-options, search-box, search-button, then adding float: left; to each of their styles as well as some margin-left: 20px; so they aren't right next to each other.

Your search-box also has a small width cutting off letters.

See this jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3qzb7q0d/1/

Something like:

#search-options {
  display: inline-block;
  float: left;
  margin-left: 20px;
  // whatever else
}

Add that to each search portion.

Increase the width of #search-button

Remove the width from #search-div
