New user of Firefox. Webpage I made not displaying correctly in Firefox but OK in Win IE. Why is this?

Im new to Firefox. Just found out the website Im maintaining does not display correctly with Firefox but OK with Win IE. Why is this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I'm going to make a prediction here:
The webpage will contain a lot of code written specifically to the non-standards compliant way IE works, and will also "not display correctly" in the following standards compliant browsers:
Chrome
Safari
Opera
and the solution will be to code the pages according to the standards meant to be followed so it displays correctly in all non-IE browsers, '''then''' see how it displays in IE.

Certain special characters do not display correctly in Firefox ( font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3" ¬ /font ). Is there a fix?

Certain special characters which display correctly in Explorer do not display correctly in Firefox. Example: <font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3">¬</font>
Is there a fix?

The symbol font usually doesn't work in Firefox, a website needs to use an Unicode replacement or an HTML entity to specify such a character.
See:

Website not displaying correctly. Firefox is changing the character set to Western (ISO-8859-1) automatically.

Normally I have set Firefox (or it's set by default) to Character Set Unicode (UTF-8) and everything displays perfectly. I've never had a problem before.
Now however, whenever I upload my own website, for some bizarre reason on that particular tab (and only that tab) the Character Set is changed over to Western (ISO-8859-1) and then there's a few characters within my site that do not display correctly, namely apostrophes and hypens.
It definitely isn't my software (Serif WebPlus X4) because the page displays correctly in every other browser. Plus it displays correctly in Firefox if I change the Character set back to Unicode.
PS The site is a work in progress

That happens because the server sends a content-type (<b>text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1</b>) via the HTTP response headers and in that case that content type prevails. The page code is saved with an UTF-8 byte order mark (ï»¿) that you see in this case.

Website not displaying correctly on Firefox

Hello,
My website www.gauravmittal.com is not showing correctly in Firefox. The images are showing up
as thumbnails below each other as opposed to large scrolling images. I have tried everything possible
from your available troubleshoot guide.
Please help fix this.
Thank you.

Firefox isnt the only browser having that issue, I used a Webkit based browser (like Safari) and came up the same.

Template not displaying correctly in firefox

Hello,
it's probably a question you've answered a thousand
times...I'm totally new to designing pages so I used a template
from DW (from sample, starter page, personal training homepage). I
have only modified some text, and after uploading to my host to
have a look at it, it displays incorrectly in Firefox, but fine in
IE. However, when i preview the page from DW with F12, it opens in
firefox in local mode and looks like it's intended to look.
I have tried uploading the template without any modification
and the firefox problem is still there...
Am i missing something ?
have a look : www.englishcoaching.fr
Thanks in advance !
Belinda

Look at the code.
You have several broken links on the page you have uploaded -
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///E|/Documents and
Settings/Administrator/My Documents/Unnamed Site
2/mm_training.css"
type="text/css" />
Note that the stylesheet link is pointing at a file on your
hard drive,
which certainly will not work on the web. This is usually the
mark of an
improperly defined local site. You do have a local site
defined, right?

Hover menu buttons not displaying correctly in Firefox

Hello,
I have a small problem with firefox. It does not seem to
display the images correctly. In firefox the buttons are pushed
down and you can only see part of the image. In IE6 and IE7 it is
displayed fine.
here is the URL so you can take a look at it:
Page
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Just drop a zoom:100% style on the link, and IE will get it
right.

On windows 7 only, ie9 and firefox 4 spry bar not displaying correctly?

This website www.colonialstock.com does not display the spry menubar correctly. I need it to go all the way to the right. But when I do a view on IE8 or do the compatibility view on IE9 (which is the same as IE8) it brings the bar too far, making it fall below where it is. I need it to work on both browsers. The same is on firefox 4 and earlier versions. I am guessing this is just a windows 7 issue in all. Also on firefox when i hover on this tab issuer services> annual meeting & proxy the sub sub menu appears farther down than it should it works fine on all ie8/9 versions. Please let me know if you have any solutions.

Appears OK in Firefox... is it not where you want it?

When i open the add ons page in firefox the pages do not display correctly the pages only show text and are in lists

when i click on the add ons tab the page does not show correctly. There are no graphics just text. It is difficult to view the page details. If you click on a link within the page the next page opens with exactly the same problem. All other tabs and pages open and display correctly

Hi,
If you're using a theme you can try to temporarily switch to the '''Default''' theme in Tools > Add-ons > Appearance. If the problem persists, please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

Iweb updated page does not display correctly in firefox or safari

www.rohanstevenson.com
tried to update my site with a couple of cues and the wheels have completely come off. i cannot get the site to display correctly.
it looks a bit better if i open the page directly from the computer, but after sending it to ftp host it will not load up properly in the browsers.
i have no idea what is going on and i rather desperately need that site back up and running
help!!

This is happening probably because the text encoding on your server end is set wrong. Or perhaps your FTP program is doing the encoding differently. This is commonlly seen when uploading iWeb pages to 3rd party servers and can be corrected.
Our own Tom Gewecke has a nice writeup about these strange looking characters that can appear. He also has some suggestions about what to check and what to do. Check it out and see if any of it might be relevant to your situation. If not come on back and we'll keep trying to troubleshoot with you...

TV Listings do not display correctly in Firefox

The channels appear in the left column, although out of line, and are for Dallas, TX, and I live in NJ. After the table of channels, the listings appear, once again, for Dallas.
Here's the bottom:

Have you tried using another browser? I have Firefox 21 on a WIN7 64 bit, WIN7 32 bit, and a WIN8 computer. All three display the TV listings correctly.
Try deleting your Verizon cookies. Sometimes individual cookies get corrupted for some reason.

Firefox will show the link if nothing is blocking it...
In case an ad blocker, script blocker, or another extension is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Why do some web pages not display correctly in Firefox?

When I go to certain websites the text formatting in Firefox comes out to where hyperlinks and lines of text are displayed on top of one another but the same site is formatted properly when I load it in Internet Explorer.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident.<br>Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
