That’s fixed the misalignment issue on text zoom in Firefox.
The other issues remain, of course - including the use of inline styles after all you’ve been told on that subject.

Yes, I already understand why that message appears.
However, there is nothing on your page to say what it does, or explain why it requires the use of cookies to function, so there is no reason for me (or any other visitor) to choose to accept those cookies.
What you’re opening is a google blog encapsulated in an iframe scrollbar.

[/quote]I do understand what is happening.
But you have failed to explain why I would want to do that, especially as I have no idea what content any of those boxes opens. There is nothing anywhere to indicate or explain to visitors how your page works, or what happens if they click on a box. The fact that nothing happens if they click on any of the first row boxes may well prevent most visitors from trying those further down. (If the first row boxes are not intended to be links, then you shouldn’t be using the <a> element for them.)
Perhaps I should try to explain more clearly here.
When I move the mouse over one of your boxes, the cursor changes to indicate it is a link. Now, normally I look at the lower left-hand side of my screen to see the URL for the link before I decide to visit it. It’s a sensible precaution, because not everyone on the Internet is honest, and it’s quite possible to set up a lnk like this: www.google.com. But your boxes don’t allow me to do that; there is no indication of where the link leads. So perhaps I go ahead and click, expecting to go to another part of your site, or whatever. But what I’ve opened doesn’t tell me which site it belongs to. I have no way of knowing whether I’m opening a link to a page about Disney movies, or a porn site. In that situation, I’m hardly going to allow the site to set cookies and track me - especially if I’m visiting from a work or public computer.
You need to think about how this will appear to somebody arriving on your page for the first time. Yes, you know what everything is and what it does or doesn’t do; but that is not the case for a visitor, and building pages which other people will not use is pretty pointless, IMHO.

I have a question, is there a way to keep all the blocks stacked without them falling apart?
I tried doing the same steps you provided with the rest of them but they all ended up sticking to each other.
The code you posted as your “finished product” doesn’t behave like that. What have you changed, and why?
The squares at the bottom were one large image. There waa nothing to “break apart”.
And these are the blocks I photo imaged for the png
.
The “why” still remains. What is the intended purpose? (Perhaps it’s just me, but it seems pointless to answer questions guessing at what is needed, or what else might change further down the line.)

What are you trying to do. What is your intent? Do you want each square to be a clickable button?
What are you trying to do? You know how awkward it can be to “retrofit” code… it’s much easier to know what the finished product should look like and do from the start.

I want to know how you get the blocks to stack, to look like this without them tumbling over. And without them sticking to each other. When I tried your way on the rest of the blocks they all ended up sticking to each other.
And we would like to know what your eventual aim is. Clearly you have a reason for having changed your code. Without knowing your eventual goal, it’s hard to know the best advice to give. Continually ignoring reasonable questions asked by those attempting to assist you is not only irritating, but also quite rude.
Have you tried using divs to wrap each group of five blocks into a single row?

I never heard of that.
Just for a minute, forget about stacking the blocks, forget about them tumbling over, forget about them sticking together. That is just a technical exercise to be worked through.
Please tell us what it is meant to do. What is it’s purpose? How do you anticipate people will make use of it? Have you ever heard the phrase “form follows function”?

Then you didn’t do it right. It’s as simple as that. If the firt row works properly, then the rest of the rows should, too.
Form follows function is a principle
associated with modernist architecture and industrial design in the 20th
century. The principle is that the shape of a building or object should
be primarily based upon its intended function or purpose.
