[1] In Gecko 6.0 (Firefox 6.0 / Thunderbird 6.0 / SeaMonkey 2.3), there was a bug that causes vertical <progress> elements to render with the dimensions of a horizontal bar. This is fixed in Gecko 7.0 (Firefox 7.0 / Thunderbird 7.0 / SeaMonkey 2.4).

[2] The auto value was equivalent to horizontal.
