Firefox 18.0.2 is displaying some web pages incorrectly

I have just installed the latest security update and pages which had been displayed prior to the update, consisting of columns of names and numbers, occupying an entire page, are now scrunched up, in very small font, at the left side of the page and are virtually unreadable. I am running FF 18.0.2 with Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
Help, please!

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Safari not displaying some web pages properly why?

    I have been finding of late that safari does not display certain web pages properly. i.e.: text overlaps other text  and is not formatted properly. This seems to have become more common lately. Even Apple's own apple info page does not display properly. Could this be a setting in safari that I have messed up somehow?

    Go step by step and test.
    1. Delete Cookies
        Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
        Click the “Details” button.
        Remove all cookies except from Apple, your internet service provider and banks.
    2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
        Turn on those one by one and test.
    3. Delete Caches.db
        Close all windows and quit all applications.
        Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
        Select "Library" from the dropdown.
        Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
        Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
        Close windows and relaunch Safari.
    4. Empty Caches
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    5. Temporarily  turn off  Safari iCloud sync and test.
         System Preferences > iCloud
         Uncheck the box beside “Safari” and test.

  • After upgrading to Mac OS Lion, even after installing Java manually, some web pages don't download and appear blank whereas Firefox works

    After upgrading to Mac OS Lion, even after installing Java manually, some web pages don't download and appear blank whereas Firefox and Opera work. Can someone help?

    Might be a third party Safari addon that was compatible with Snow Leopard but not Lion that's preventing pages to load. That add on may not have any effect on the other browsers, just Safari.
    Read here  >  Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Also, if you have Little Snitch or Peer Guardian or anti virus sofware installed on your Mac, that might prevent pages to load also.

  • After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Help?

    After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Usually non-text confirm type links. Like to enter an account.
    One Example below. I can't click open the 'My Account' button at the top: http://www.boostmobile.com/
    I also miss the Google toolbar. I used it frequently.
    I am ready to revert to an older version of Firefox.

    I did't have a problem clicking on the link. It is JavaScript perhaps you have JavaScript turned off Tools > Options > Content or perhaps NoScript extension.
    '''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.

  • MSN Entertainment - .mp4 icons appear on my desktop every time I am using Firefox to view some web pages.

    I have been using Firefox for many years now. Firefox 19.0 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 Lately when I open and view some web pages an Icon with 'MSN Entertainment -.mp4' appears. Some sessions leave as many as 15 to 20 of these Icons. I can not open them with any thing.
    Did I do something wrong or what. I can't seem to find out the answer.
    They do not appear when we use Safari

    PS - SORRY --- I meant (in the title): "... using Firefox as my web browser."

  • IE browser and Web Cache and SSL - Internet Explorer cannot display the web page

    When using IE8, IE9, or IE10 with Web Cache and SSL certain pages which display a lot of data returns the error - "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page."
    if we eliminate SSL but continue to use Web Cache, the error does *not* reproduce & If we eliminate Web Cache altogether the error again does *not* reproduce.  The error is only reproducible when we use SSL with Web Cache and if we use IE and we access *large* pages.

    àApplication Management  à
    Configure Alternate access mapping-->Edit your web application zone and add your server name in Intranet zone. So default can be serverIP and intranet could be servername.
    Workaround 2:
    Might be there is some issue with DNS and try to check that WebApplication is pointing to correct IP or not.  
    Also try to access your Sharepoint site using ip Address .. If you still gets error Kindly share the logs ..

  • Can't open some web pages... DOES ANYONE HAVE A FIX THAT WORKS?

    I'm unable to open certain web pages. The pages will start to open and than the application will just stall. This seems to have coincided with downloading a security update a while back. I've tried downloading firefox and it too will not open these specific pages. I've searched the forum and as of now I can't find a solution. From what I've hear, Apple isn't even acknowledging that there is an issue. I've repaired permissions, deleted Safari plist files, all with no improvement. I know for a fact that it is not my internet connection, as my powerbook can navigate to these sites without any issues, however my powermac seems to have "forgotten" how to open some web pages.
    Any fixes would be enourmously appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I don't think that reporting the pages to apple would do much good as it's not the pages themselves that are the issue, it's something on my system that prevents them from opening up properly. My laptop will open the pages without any issue, however my desktop isn't able to for god knows what reason. I know others on this board have had similar problems.

  • When trying to cler all browsing history at the location bar, although I follow the instructions to 'ctrl, shift, delete, some web pages remain stuck. Even if I highlight them one at a time and hit delete, they remain. What can I do to eliminate them?

    When trying to delete web pages from my history at the location bar drop-down area, I do as Firefox instructs by hitting the 'ctrl, shift, delete' keys but some web pages remain. Even if I highlight each page and hit delete, they remain. How can I eliminate these web pages?

    If you visit a bookmarked site then that site will become a history item and shows as such in the location bar drop down list.

  • Safari will not finish loading some web pages

    I just bought a new macbook pro. As soon as I got it I started installing programs I use (photoshop, lightroom, Chrome, Firefox, etc).  It seemed that from the beginning Safari didn't work properly, but in reading more about my problem maybe it's because I have downloaded programs that changed Safari.
    Some web pages work fine, but some don't.  For instance, even the Apple.com site won't load all the way in Safari.  Links or images will be missing.  I tried to fill out a form and when I got to the bottom of the page the "submit" button was missing and I couldn't submit the form.  I try the same page in Chrome and it works just fine.  Firefox is even worse at loading the website though.
    I've been trying to read other people's questions to figure it out but no one seems to have the exact same problem.  I tried changing the DNS and reinstalling Safari and it made no difference.  Then I read some advice from Linc Davis to create a guest user.  I tried loading Apple.com in Safari under the guest user and it worked perfect.  Then I tried booting in safe mode as Linc Davis suggested others do and I still had the same problem with Safari, no improvement.  At least I think I was in safe mode.  I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on and heard the chime I held down the shift key.  The grey apple screen came up with the gear turning, but when it came to the log in screen it didn't say "safe mode."  Is there any indication to tell you you are indeed in safe mode?
    Any way I restarted normally and can't figure out how to fix Safari.  Any suggestions? Linc Davis?

    To anyone who has this same question, I had to find the answer on my own and thought I would post it for you.  I was kind of annoyed that Apple wouldn't even try to help me.  After searching forever on Apple's support pages I finally did a google search and went to some outside sources to find the answer.  I narrowed down that the problem Safari was having was not being able to load images on any website.
    Here was the solution:
    I opened Finder
    Opened the Go menu and held down the option key to open the hidden Library folder
    Opened Preferences
    Then I deleted all the com.apple.Safari files (there were 4)
    Ta Dah! Safari instantly works again.  Hope this can help someone else out in my predicament.

  • In some web pages, pdf files are downloaded in very small kb and not opening despite I have Adobe reader, Pro and plug in

    I have Firefox 3.6.6, downgraded from higher versions since I have this problem below.
    At some web pages (mostly professional academic sites like Oxford Journals), when I am clicking to get pdf of an article, Firefox start downloading ridiculously small size and cannot open it as it gives the message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ..."
    I know the file is not damaged, because I can open them in explorer. And some websites are also working properly in Firefox. I do not care if it opens in firefox or pops up separately.
    I have reloaded Acrobat and Firefox but problem continues.

    hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

  • In Safari some web pages are jibberish

    Hi,
    I am having problems with safari showing correct text. The text on certain websites shows up like jibberish. This problem just started yesterday and I'm not sure what to do. (It doesn't happen to all websites) Firefox displays the web pages normal, so i think the problem is with Safari.
    Any suggestions?
    (I've tried changing the text encoding, but that doesn't work either. It's wierd because one minute the website was fine, and then when I went back the text was messed up and hasn't changed since.)
    Thanks!

    Try getting rid of the fonts Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic if you have them. Plus clean you font caches with Fontfinagler (use google to find it).

  • Some web pages take long to load

    I just recently got my mac and i like it better than my PC. There is only one problem I run into. I have noticed that some web pages take long to load and once they are loaded i try scrolling down or up and the web page lags big time. Also the grapics are not all that great. My PC runs the pages just fine. This is not a problem for all web pages but only a few. Mainly I see the problem on some myspace profiles.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    It is slower in a measureable sense, or just a "seat of the pants" feeling?
    Go to PC Pitstop and run their test. If you are getting the bandwidth that you are paying for, then it is an issue with your broswer.
    I do not like Safari. It is slower than Camino, especially in conjunction with CamiTools. Safari is a memory hog and grabs CPU cycles like nobody's business. I have never had any issues with either Camino or Firefox. Either are much better than Safari, IMO.
    If you miss the look of Safari, there are skins and even a great RSS reader that can be added to Firefox called Sage. It offers better RSS integration than Safari IMO.
    In my experience, Macs just render pages slower than PCs due to poor coding or IE specific coding that lazy web authors. Safari is one of the most standards compliant browsers out there, but if the pages are coded poorly or browser specific, then there is nothing that Safari can do about it.
    You can take a look at some settings, but let us know what speeds you are paying for from your ISP and compare those to the actual speeds. Then we can talk about possible solutions.
