Text spilling out of the box in firefox

Hi,
Please, help me how can I have flexible box with background color in css that will expand according to the contents. Following is the test code that I have used, it is working in IE but in firefox contents come out of the box. I am looking for the cross browser fix for this:-
The CSS File I am using contains the following:-
div#content{margin-left:190px;margin-top:5px;}
div.box
{
width: auto;
min-width: 40px;
border: 2px solid #781351;
padding: 3px;
background: #d7b9c9;

white-space: nowrap
}

following is my html file:-
<html>
<head>
<link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<title>TEST PAGE</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<div class="box">
