Firefox 7.0.1 displays website differently from IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox 3 and Safe Mode

Hi
The website www.littleones.ie displays incorrectly in Firefox 7.0.1.
DIVs are shifted down the page instead of appearing side by side. It is OK in IE, Chrome and Safari, Firefox 3 and in FireFox Safe Mode.
After a few tests I find that I can fix the problem by disabling hardware acceleration in the Options menu.
Disabling Plugins did not fix the problem.
Problem has also be seen on another PC using Firefox 7.0.1.

Thanks for your response.
I'm using an HP laptop with 'HP Support Assistant' which automatically keeps the system up to date. The littleones.ie website belongs to my client. The problem is that visitors to the Little Ones website may be experiencing this problem - which will be affecting the effectiveness of the site. We can't ask visitors to littleones.ie to update their graphics drivers before browsing the site!!
Someone else I have asked to view the site had the same problem so it is not just my PC- I'll get a spec of their system if that would help.
Do you know if a website can ask a browser not to use hardware acceleration?
I've used Firefox on many websites without this problem. Is their something in the HTML or CSS of littleones.ie which could be upsetting Firefox /HWA?

Why does Photoshop display colors differently from the other applications even in sRGB mode ?

Hello all !
Here is my problem :
Photoshop is set to use sRGB workspace (in edit/colors.../workspace/RVB).
If I understand correctly this is how all native windows applications work.
This means Photoshop and the other applications should display the same colors on a file with a sRGB profile.
Now this is the case until I calibrate my monitor.
When I do, Photoshop colors become different from the other applications (irfanview, explorer, browsers...).
The only way I found to let everything display the same colors is to set Photoshop to use Proofing/RVB Monitor.
What upsets me even more is that Photoshop colors look "better" to me (dark grays seem to dark to me in the other applications.)
I have read that this is because Photoshop takes the new profile into account and others applications do not. But I don't think this is relevant here because everything is in sRGB so the only profile is my monitor's and I think calibration is handled globally by windows : everything (including browsers, explorer, and Photoshop) changes color if I choose to apply the monitor's profile or not with windows color management tool ("use my parameters for this device").
Here is my system configuration :
- Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)
- Windows 7 64 bits
- HP ZR2440W and DELL 2209WA (these are not wide gamut screens)
I have spent two days trying to figure the logics behind this and really am upset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear or some information I forgot to mention.
Thanks in advance,
Yannick

That sounds like an invitation to continue to talk about the issue. Fair enough.
I'm not sure where you're getting "insecurity"... I am just trying to help you help others more effectively.
I invite you to re-read just the first sentence of what you wrote very carefully, putting yourself in the shoes of someone struggling with both the terminology and the concepts:
Photoshop (CMS) reads an embedded ICC profile and CONVERTS it to the custom monitor profile for a theoretical 'true color' display
Think about what "Photoshop (CMS)" might mean to a person who doesn't know the acronym might stand for "Color Management System" (which is I assume what you meant). Adobe themselves don't call it "CMS", they use the acronym "CMM" (Color Management Module). The term "CMS" is used in the computer industry for about a dozen different things.
While a color profile might have been embedded in an image file before it was opened by Photoshop, Photoshop works on documents. A profile is not "embedded" in a document, it is maintained by Photoshop with the document and describes the color values in the document. If Photoshop opens a document without an embedded profile, depending on settings and user choices it might assign a profile or it might even operate on the document without color-management. Oversimplification doesn't help people when they're trying to learn new things unless it's described as such, for example, "This is a bit of an oversimplification..." or "Generally speaking..."
Not every monitor profile is a "custom monitor profile". Quite often a standard profile (e.g., sRGB IEC61966-2.1) is associated with a monitor by the operating system as a default, or a factory profile is installed by a driver package or system update. Your use of the term "custom" is a bit ambiguous and could be read as implying the creation of a profile using a calibration and profiling device specific to the particular monitor.
Photoshop's color management code does not convert an embedded ICC profile at all (read carefully what you wrote). As I said, it transforms color values. That was the key error in your description that prompted me to comment.
If ever there is a time to pick words carefully, it's in a color-management discussion.

Getting Pop Up Ads on my Mac Book Pro All of a Sudden, Regardless of Which Browser I use (Chrome, Safari, FireFox)

I'm getting Pop Ads via Google Chrome / Safari / Firefox all of a sudden in the last 2 weeks. I use a Mac Book Pro OS X (10.6.4). I've never had pop up problems w/ Mac before, I've been using Mac for a few years. I've also been using Google Chrome ever since it came out and haven't had any pop ups occur. However, in the last 2 weeks, I'm getting pop ups all the time. Sometimes when I click a link, it redirects me to a pop up first. My settings on Chrome are still set to "Do not allow any site to show pop-ups." However, they are still popping up. How do I stop the pop ups?
Updates:
Also, even if I don't click a link, I'm getting pop ups. 4/24/11
I've ran 2 different Anti-Virus programs (Sophos & MacScan) and done a full scan w/ both and it comes back as clean --> no virus / malware detected. Also, seems like i'm also getting pop ups on Safari and FireFox as well. Altho the frequency on those is less than Google Chrome. Any other Mac user facing this issue? 11:21 AM

THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!! 5 DAYS & COUNTING AND NO POP UP ISSUES! I came across a blog (can't remember which one now) and realized maybe its not my Mac, maybe its the DNS (Wireless) that I'm connected to that is corrupt. I noted what my DNS address was by clicking on the Apple icon on the upper left hand corner of my laptop and then navigating to System Preferences > Network > Advance (button) > DNS (tab) on Mac. I don't know anything about how DNS stuff works, but I am in a location where there are several restaurants / coffee shops around me with free wi-fi. So, I went and connected to a different restaurant's free wifi. Then I went back and checked my DNS address and it had changed to something new. And under the new DNS address, I haven't had any redirects yet! I went back and tested all the links via Safari that I was previously getting redirected from (including this one) and no redirect issues! YAY!!! Since then, I've been using a wireless card device w/ a different DNS. 5 days later, I still haven't gotten any pop ups!!! So, I guess the issue was w the DNS (wireless) that I was using, not with my laptop. Hope this helps anyone else that may get this issue, worked for me!

I was wondring if there is any top free app for cleaning up the computer and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a macbookpro with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on yourhelp

I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up the computer from malware, phinishing apps, adware, and othere malicious softwares and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a Macbook pro with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on your help

I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up ...
There is no such thing, since the problems you are describing can have various causes. Seeking anything claiming to "clean" your Mac is asking for trouble, since all of those products are scams, whether they are "free" or not.
If you are having trouble with your Mac, describe what it is. Be as specific as possible. For general recommendations read below.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Firefox 18.0.1 consuming excessive CPU--both in Standard and Safe Mode--when accessing Gmail

Firefox 18.0.1 consumes excessive CPU--both in Standard and Safe Modes--when accessing Gmail (in Standard Mode). CPU consumption averages around 56% on my dual-CPU, Windows 7 desktop.
The only way to stop this from happening it to open Gmail in "HTML" mode. When I open Gmail in Standard mode, a "Loading..." status shows at the top of the page. After about 30 seconds, a error window pops-up within the Gmail page saying that there is a performance problem and provides the option to load Gmail in a limited, "HTML" mode. Clicking the HTML Mode link solves the issue. I've been using Firefox for years and have never seen this issue until now.

That second one sounds like malware.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

1. You have a pre-release Beta 1 version of what will become Firefox 4 in like 5 or 6 months. Unless you are intending to test it for flaws and report those flaws to help in the development process, don't use it.
2. Did you create a new Profile for 4.0b1, and are you using that Profile with it? ''That isn't done automatically when you install 4.0b1, and those of us who have been doing the "testing" for many years consider a new Profile as the basis of doing out testing.''
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles]
IMO, Mozilla is making a huge mistake by directly offering these beta versions to the general public.
Also IMO. if you want to play with 4.0b1, use the Portable Firefox 4.0beta version to minimize any conflicts with a currently installed version of Firefox, and to eliminate the need for creating a new Profile for 4.0 Beta #:
Download Firefox Portable Test to your hard drive and double click the '''FirefoxPortableTest_4.0_Beta_#_English.paf.exe''' file. The entire installation (including a new Profile for "Portable") will be self-contained in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\ folder and won't interfere with an "official" version that you already have installed. Your Profile will be in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\Data\profile\ folder.
The "down side" is that Firefox Portable won't launch if any other version of Firefox is already running.

Suspend firefox menu and safe mode

I would like to use Firefox to run my application, but do not want user save data by Save as function, how can I suspend whole menu and safe mode? Many tks!

Hi junior08,
Sorry I am not sure I understand what you are attempting. Perhaps you would explain in more detail.
*You have an application
** Is this something you have coded yourself ? or is it something you have downloaded ?
* The USER
** Is that you ?
** Someone else using your computer ?
** Or some other user with their own device and their own Firefox
* DATA what is this ?
** which device is this on ? (If it is on the users own device they would already normally have access to the data one way or another)

Firefox is not rendering/displaying websites correctly.

Started today, never had problems with any site I visited until now. Every webpage I vist will not load/render/display correctly. I have not done anything to firefox in ages and have had no problem like this before.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Mapviewer displaying maps differently from the client than from the server

Can anyone explain to me why this is happening. I have been deploying my java server page to the server, and the way it works is to have multiple base routes which are not originally shown, but the user can 'check' them and they will display. On the server this works as one would expect, but on the client
I originally couldn't get this to work through Jdeveloper, but now it works -- that's another story :(
all of my base maps are displayed when the map first comes up. I don't want this to occur because it takes too long. Anyway, does anyone know why the map is working different from the client than it does when I deploy it to the server? Here is the significant code:
var basemap1 = new MVBaseMap("ds_prod.prod_rdlg_qry");
var basemap2 = new MVBaseMap("ds_prod.interstate", "", true);
basemap2.setTransparent(true);
var basemap3 = new MVBaseMap("ds_prod.primary", "", true);
basemap3.setTransparent(true);
mapview = new MVMapView(document.getElementById("map"), baseURL);
mapview.addBaseMapLayer(basemap1);
mapview.addBaseMapLayer(basemap2);
mapview.addBaseMapLayer(basemap3);
basemap1.setVisible (true);
basemap2.setVisible (false);
basemap3.setVisible (false);
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
Whitch version of mapviewer are you using? (MVBaseMap/addBaseMapLayer is for older versions, and in newer there is MVMapTileLayer/addMapTileLayer)
I had similar difficulties displaying multiple tile layers in application with mapviewer ver. B080618. (not sute, may be in newer versions this works different)
When adding all tile layers initially and then setting theig Visible properties, browser fetches from server data for ALL the layers (even if they were set to visible -> false)
the workaround was to add aditional layers ony when this is needed.
