However, I don't think there's such kind of "prefer (1) to (2) to (3)" rule, so as soon as the browser finds all the breakpoints that are possible, it may use them in any priority order. I guess the rule chosen by the other browsers is "find the break point that's the nearest the point you have to break anyway" which is why they end up breaking inside the padding or border. What I find strange in the Gecko behavior is the way the break is vertically "extended" to make the box fit the column. I can't find that in the spec anywhere, nor does it seems very logical to do so.
