Firefox doesn't show text on certain websites.

On several websites that I visit regularly (e.g. Autosport.com) Fiefox will not display text whilst other browsers do. This is very frustrating because I much prefer Firefox!
I have screenshots of Firefox v IE but apparently I can't post them until I have a received a reply.

How safe is it to delete Lucida Grande from my Windows Fonts folder?
</blockquote>
I think it depends on how it got there. If it was dropped by Safari for Windows, which is no longer a product that Apple supports, I think it's safe to remove. If it belongs to some other software, then that software might object to losing the font. I'm not sure of the best way to determine that. I suppose you could hedge your bets by dragging it into a different folder so Windows just doesn't see it.

Only latest Mac version of FireFox doesn't render images from certain websites correctly. How to fix?

Running FireFox 3.6.16 on both Windows 7 sp1 and Mac OS 10.6.7. When viewing the images on some websites, for example the home screen for www.xerox.com, the "slide show" images that come across the browser on the Mac have lines going through the images. These same images look fine on Windows 7 and when using other browsers, such as Safari, Explorer, etc too.

Hello mpunt74, try to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration turn off hardware acceleration], and check it again.

Firefox doesn't display text of certain gmail messages seen correctly by IE

One email correspondent sends me messages which only occasionally fail to display on my gmail account browsed using current Firefox version. Same messages display fine in IE (how humiliating!). He has no idea what he's doing differently from one message to the next. I suspect it might be something about "pasted" in content. The header looks fine - just the body comes up blank. Forwarding to myself doesn't help. I've seen this about 6 times in 6 months - all from same sender - most of whose email comes thru fine. I'd suspect something else except for disturbing fact that IE reads these messages without any problem.

Firefox doesn't show original text when replying an e-mail in Hotmail

Firefox doesn't show the original text when replying an e-mail message in Hotmail. It's not an account issue since I've tried the same with Explorer and the original text DOES show...
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.hotmail.com

anyone fix the problem yet?I cleared my cookies and that didnt work.

After "cleaning up" my fonts, all text in certain websites is bold. Please help.

About a week ago, I deleted every font in font book that had a yellow circle (this is a problematic font) warning next to it, thinking that it would help stabilize Word. Now all the text on certain websites, e.g. https://www.lexisnexis.com/start/signin?service=lexis&contractURL=https%3a%2f%2f w3.lexis.com%2fresearch2%2fauthResource.do%3f_m%3d04e7cec9cf984a4030f980679eaa70 6b&key=_c4BE55E57-F002-DA05-DE3F-49B4F056C0EF_kD6B95D8A-DB53-3E64-E981-13ED11BB5 374&event=form, that should be plain shows up bolded. Italicized text does not have this problem. I have only found one other website on which I have this problem (some blog), the problem is that I use the website above all the time.
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, all the same.
Thanks,
stu

Hi ..
Might be a duplicate ..
Open the Font Book app.
From the Font Book menu bar click Edit > Look for Enabled Duplicates
If it's not a duplicate issue, from the menu bar click File > Restore Standard Fonts

Firefox doesn't show smileys on Facebook

Hi,
I need to solve a problem with smileys in Facebook chat.
When someone send me smileys, Firefox doesn't show them, but I can see them in other browsers.
I opened 'about:crush' and the most recent Report ID's starting with 'bp-' letters are following:

Has been solved by deleting a history :)

Firefox doesn't show/display my addressbook within my hotmail account anymore. Cookies/Cashe has been emptied already, result is the same.

Firefox doesn't show/display/load my addressbook within my hotmail account anymore, it worked previously well, so has nothing to do with the change from hotmail to outlook. Since a week or so, I realized a slowness in loading my recently used addresses with opening a new e-mail, but it was still working from time to time. For a few days, it has been stopped working, complete addressbook doesn't load anymore, just displays the load circle in the middle of the screen, apart from that I have only a white page. Cache and Cookies already emptied/deleted, result is the same. No settings have been changed, but have the same issue with Internet Explorer, but it's working with Chrome. For testing, I deactivated my firewall and anti virus (Comodo), but the result was still the same. I would appreciate if I could get it working again here. Every suggestion is welcome here

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

My firefox doesn't show what I download in my computer before I push F5. How resolve this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Firefox doesn't show headers on websites or mail options such as fonts, etc

Firefox is the only browser that I'm having these problems with. They are as follows:
In the compose e-mail block of my yahoo, it doesn't show the options for fonts, size of fonts, backgrounds, etc. It also won't let me change the color of the fonts. It just shows blank boxes. Not only can't I change things in individual e-mails that I compose, I can't change my e-mail options.
In the customize backgrounds and colors for my yahoo page, it doesn't let me change colors or themes.
In websites, it doesn't show the headers of the website, including name of website and selections. It's blank. The body of the website shows up. Just not the header.
Is there a way restore Firefox to it's original state? If so, how do I do this? Or do I need to uninstall it and reinstall it? I didn't do this when I first started using Firefox.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

Firefox doesn't display text boxes or windows propertly

Hello, most of the time on many websites only a portion of the textbox bounadry lines show or none at all.
This can be difficult when it doesn't show at all when I need to move my cursor to starting inputting text, aside from it looking unsightly.
Also somtimes windows that were intended to have a lined border don't show or only so partly, I know this because I have another computer running same version of firefox with windows xp beside the computer I am having trouble with to compare.
The computer os I am using that I am having problems with firefox is windows 8.1.
All my windows and video drivers are up to date. I've tried disabling firefox hardware acceleration to no effect.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Guys for all your attempts to help...none worked.
In the process of trying different things my "My PC" icon disappeared because I was trying to change my account settings to Administrative privileges because I was trying to access the firefox file folder that had profiles so I could delete them. Apparently they were hidden in user folder, but that user folder was hidden and in the attempt to make it visible it denied me access because I didn't have admin rights....
...so in the end I just re-installed win 8.1 and now all the web pages display properly...don't know why..but at least it displays better now.

Firefox no longer shows pictures for any website I go to. All graphics are gone. I tried using another browser and I am able to get pictures. I really like Firefox and want to be able to use it. This is for a pc.

About 10 days ago Firefox started to show only some pictures that should be on website--shopping sites or any other. After a few more day it now shows no pictures or graphics at all. It makes it almost impossible to use. I can see text, but it is rearranged on pages. Can't see buttons to click on etc.

Not sure from your example but it appears that the address doesn't have a full domain, i.e., the part between http:// and the next / is not a valid internet domain name, e.g.,
http://sometext-webproxy/
In that case, it's probably something running on your computer, either as part of your security software, or as a Firefox add-on, or malware.
A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If you can access sites normally, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can try here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

Safari doesn't show Youtube and Yahoo websites.

I just bought a Macbook Pro a few days ago, and I have a problem since day one. Safari doesn't work with Yahoo Mail or Youtube. I always get a blank page.
When I open other sites like www.real.com the pages show text but no images. Can anyone help me?

For YouTube, you need to install Adobe Flash Player.

Firefox doesn't show jpg files from a web page while other browsers do

I have created a page and uploaded www.nutechequipments.com/equipment.html page doesn't show the jpg files in only firefox everywhere including Dubai. But all the other browsers show the uploaded jpg pictures in perfect manner. In Firefox only the table is loaded with placeholders. It is not a problem with my computer. It is the problem all over the world.
the sample html code is given below:
<pre><nowiki><td><img src="equip\equip.jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip1.jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip (2).jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip (3).jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td></nowiki></pre>

You have backslashes (\: escaped as %5C as seen in Tools > Page Info > Media) in the scr attribute of the images and that doesn't work in Firefox.
You need to change the backslashes to forward slashes
<pre><nowiki>equip%5Cequip.jpg
equip%5Cequip1.jpg
equip%5Cequip%20(2).jpg

Part of .pdf doesn't show text when opened in firefox but does show when downloaded to the desktop

when I open this link within firefox the chart (page 3 on) doesn't open. When I download the .pdf to my desktop all the information is filled in.
http://www.tradestocksamerica.com/dsr-pdf/TheDailyStockReport_2013-02-25-Monday_Morning.pdf
i noticed on my laptop, where the entire contents of the .pdf is viewable, within Firefox - under
Firefox / Tools / Options / Applications / there is an app called JPS file whereas on the desktop this app does not appear

Have you researched the site you mentioned? I went to it and WOT gave me a red flag.
At this moment, we are aware of issues pertaining to PDF.js and we suggest installing the following add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/
