I would agree with this. The rel. pos. inline parent should be offset by 
left:100px (moving the bounding box, the vertical offset is not 
important) but it appears that Firefox 31 considers the static position 
of the abs. pos. child with auto offsets without considering the offset 
of of the rel. pos. inline parent.

Please see the later test 
abs-pos-child-inside-rel-pos-inline-offset-001.html (the latter test 
case). If the abs. pos. child is given a static position, Firefox 31, 
Chrome 36 and IE11 all show the same so static cases can not be used as 
a reference file.

There are two test cases. The basic one (the former which Chrome fails) 
and the one based on Boris Zbarsky's test case (the latter which Firefox 
and Chrome fails in different ways).
