The webpage I created via Publiser doesn't display well in Mozilla Firefox,
any solutions to it?

Other then trying to simplify your layout and test again, no.
Publisher is designed to exploit the technologies of the IE browser.

And that is a heaping pile of horse crap!  If you use Publisher 2000, it will
look good in most browsers (some diligence is needed with pre 4.7+ nutscrape,
but the problems are generally minor like the last line of a full justified
paragraph will try to right justify, but newer versions of netscape do not have
that problem).

There is a legal problem here in that it is arguable that this intentional
effort violates one of the Consent Decrees M$ has entered into.  I hope they fix
this problem in the version coming this year, or I am told there will be a class
action lawsuit (but of course I have been told that for a couple of years now;
you never know about lawyers).

There are a bunch of Firefox users, and still quite a few netscape users.  It is
unimaginable that M$ would think it a good idea for Publisher to be unable to
produce web pages that display properly in those browsers.  It is one of the
reasons I have stayed in Publisher 2000, but I am not at all happy about this
mess.
