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. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*View > Zoom > Reset (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You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.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 [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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

Google web page not displaying correctly

Since updating to v24.0 of Firefox (desktop) the Google web page does not display correctly.
If I use the IE tab 2 in FF or even IE10, I see the pagwe in it's full 'glory' including the black menu bar across the top were you can select Gmail or Calendar etc etc
However, in FF (without using the IE Tab 2) this menu bar across the top of the page does not display ... and to add insult to injury ... some web links o certain pages don't seem to want to work either !!!!
Anyone know what's gone wrong here as I can't figure it out ?!?!?!
Thanks

Whenever my Google UI changes drastically, I clear all my Google cookies and usually that fixes it. Sometimes I have to do that AND restart Firefox.
If you haven't already tried it... When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Some web pages not loading correctly!

Prior to the last Apple security update and move to Firefox 6.0, everything worked correctly. No problems of this type since I purchased my Imac Feb.2010. Listed are some of the problems I am experiencing. Please note that a number of web sites load and display correctly as in the past. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I am not a technical person, so please keep fix suggestions simple.
                                        web site page shifted to the extreme left of display
                                        some are centered but only 1/3 their former size
                                        one site has the top the page covered with extra page info
                                        some text is outside the boxed area it was intended to occupy

Live chat was closed when you were in the queue that is why I linked you here.
Is the problem still present in safe mode?

WebCenter Web Page Not Displaying Correctly

Has anyone ever seen this error? *"Skip navigation elements to page contents"*
The page is completely scrambled. Nothing displays correctly. It only happens when I try to restrict access to the page. Here's the page restriction within the web.xml file.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>NonAdminPages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>faces/Graphs.jspx</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>users</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
When I use this, it works correctly:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>NonAdminPages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>users</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
Of course, when I use the above url pattern, it gives everyone access to all of the pages.
Also, I tried deleting the oracle-desktop-10_1_3_3_0-en-ie-6-windows-s.css file in the "\WEB-INF\temp\adf\styles\cache\" directory. This did not work. (I read that this might fix the error from Bug No. 5616568)
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Derek
P.S. I using JDev 10.1.3.3.0

thanks for any help

Verizon web pages not displaying correctly

I am having a problem displaying most of the Verizon web pages, including the forum pages. The pages look like the header icons are sustituted with text links throughout the pages, sometimes overlaying other areas. Check the attachment for two samples. this makes them very difficult to navigate. I have not noticed this on any pages other than Verizon's, but I suppose there may be some somewhere. Find it hard to believe my browser only has the problem here. It only is an issue on my desktop pc. My laptop is ok. The only changes I made just before this happened was to uninstall a runaway Verizon In-Home Agent that was in an endless loop trying to get an update. Any ideas?
Thanks
Solved!

Try adding verizon.com to your Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer.
To do so, double-click the "Internet Zone" thing down there ▼ to bring up the Security panel, select the Trusted Sites zone and click the Sites button. Then enter "verizon.com" and click Add. You will have to uncheck the "Require server verification" box.
That should fix the problem.

Why are some web pages not loading fully or at all in chrome?

I just updated to 10.6.8 half an hour ago, and I tried watching videos on youtube, using google chrome. The first thing that I noticed is that the page turns completely transparent, invisible. I can see the toolbar, web adress bar and bookmarks bar, but everything else is invisible, with just a semi-transparent line marking the border of the would be. I then tried loading up a video in my history, to see if it was just the main page with this issue. When I loaded up a video, any video, the player itself would be transparent but the rest of the window and it's contents were visible, and I could still hear the audio stream from the video that should have been playing.
It happened again when I came here, some of the support links I opened would only be visible if I opened them within the same tab, if I tried to open them in a new tab they would also turn invisible. What's causing this and how do I fix this?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Uninstall then reinstall the plugin.

If that doesn't help, try deleting Flash cookies.

Login action buttons no longer work and some pages not displaying correctly after upgrade.

After recent update, some web pages not displaying correctly and Login buttons on some sites do not work. I've updated my plugins and restarted computer, but problems remains. Is this Java, Javascript or something else? Same pages are working fine in IE.

Please update the firefox to the latest version of firefox 26
Start Firefox in Safe Mode 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).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Major Problem - some pages not displaying correctly

All,
I have a problem with some pages not displaying correctly i.e.
SE80 navigation page
F1 help
I am using XP sp2 and we have the latest version of internet explorer 7 (which I cannot uninstall as it is company policy)
SAP version is 6.4c.
I am using SAP Gui 7.10 with the latest patch 710_7.
This is making the system completely unusable for me.
I have read a few forum posts mentioning that upgrading to the latest patch version will resolve this problem, but this clearly has not worked for me.
Can someone please help, how do I actually esculate this to SAP?
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
thanks
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Apr 8, 2008 4:07 PM

what kind of useless answer was that? If you have no constructive comments to add please refrain.
I am a SAP developer in ABAP and its related to SE80 which I used to use primarily for editing code (i now have to use se38).
I often use F1 for hints on code etc to use and syntax so it does make it very difficult for me. If there is a more appropriate forum for this please direct me, instead of posting in gibberish english.
Max - I assume you have the same problem and it is also not resolved by the latest patch. I wonder is there a way this can be esculated with SAP?

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.

Pulisher CUCM web page not display

Hello,
Publisher cucm web page not displayed and DB not accessible IP phones working on Subscriber but I can't change any settings.Cisco Tomcat service not working and I can't restarting. (ver. 7.1.5)

If you cannot change any config then it's more than just not being able to use a webpage, there must be some problem with the ccm/DB services on the PUB.
SSH to the server and see if there are error messages, I'd suggest a whole reboot.

Hi,
I think it may be <div class="html5gallery-viral-0"> (contains the social media buttons) // screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-08-01_1033.png
It's the only element that isn't in sync with the other elements on page, when compared to home.html for example.

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: ¬
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.

Text on some pages not displaying correctly since Lion upgrade

Since upgrading to Lion a few days ago, I find that the texg on many web pages does not display correctly. It appears to affect mainly header texts - all I get is a row of the capital letter "A" in boxes. I am running Safari Version 5.1 (7534.48.3) on Lion 10.7 Build 11A511.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this?
