I don't know if you have noticed it yet. But the behavior of "Text Field (Disabled, save state)" items show up different from Firefox to IE or Opera. In Firefox (what I think looks much more standard like) the background color of the item value is gray and in all other browsers its white.
I couldn't find any solution for this item type. But I found another way to let a value look gray in all browsers using the
"Display as Text" item.
How to:
Create item as: "Display as Text (saves state)"
Edit item > Element > Element Table Cell Attributes
Here are the different browser views (more or less adjust to FF3):
Internet Explorer 7:
Opera 9.51:
Internet Explorer 6 (with MultipleIE):
Firefox 3:

It's crazy how different such small details can be...
