Firefox cannot display accentuated letters correctly on some sites and is fine with others

Hi,
Firefox 3.6.8 on OS X 10.6.4 here. Firefox has a problem displaying accentuated characters on some websites like “é”, “à” etc. but is fine with the same characters on other websites.
How can I fix this? Safari has no problems with the same websites.
Screenshot below.

Here is the screenshot

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

I'm using firefox 3.6.4 dutch. On some sites telephone numbers are just visible during 1 second, then they disappear. When refresing they are again visible during 1 second.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hello,
the issue of phone numbers disappearing can be fixed by disabling the Skype add-on:
#Go to Tools > Add-ons .
#Find the Skype add-on in the list.
#Click the Disable or the Uninstall button.
#Restart Firefox.

Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab so you can't use Command Q or Command R for reloading...GRRRRRrrrr, hate this

As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
When you close Firefox you should use
*'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
Are you doing that ?
I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
* see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
* this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
*use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> [Show Folder]'''
*see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.

Some GIFs and JPGs appearing with yellow "wash" when loading in Safari

Hi,
I've flicked through forums, google, and called my top graphics people but nobody can seem to help, or has ever even heard of, my issue.
Here it is in a nutshell:
Some GIFs and JPGs appear with a yellow "wash" when being loaded in Safari. I can confirm this is happening on 3 different Macs, and even on a PC running Safari.
Safari 3.1.1 on Windows XP
Safari 3.1.2 on Mac OSX 10.5.5
Here's some examples of it occurring:
http://staging.tomatosource.com.au/test/bad.jpg
http://staging.tomatosource.com.au/test/bad.gif
You might need to refresh the page in Safari a couple of times to see the flicker but it's there.
I've tried:
- resaving images with and without "progressive" and "interlaced"
- a variety of different colour palettes
- taking a screenshot of the image, putting back into Photoshop and resaving
Has anybody seen this issue before? Unfortunately I can't go live with this site until I fix this very strange error.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jase.

Totally independently from your current problem, Safari is cr@p. Dump it.
All Apple applications, from the Finder through Preview and iPhoto to Safari, assign Monitor RGB to ALL untagged images, even if they were created or saved in sRGB.
The only current properly color-managed web browser is Firefox 3.0.1. Just keep in mind that you have to enable color management deep inside the guts of Firefox.

HT1527 I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.
HTH!

Wow!
I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

When the Wifi is connected, the iphone seems to search for some site and if firewall does not allow the access to that site, it disconnects the connection to Wifi. Can anyone help on this?

Cannot print. get message to set up printer instead of printer dialogue box. printer fine with other apps!

Epson R300 and R1900 are both set up and work fine with all other apps including acrobat.
After a restart and attempting to print, instead of the print dialogue box an error message appears saying set up a printer as not properly set up. Further attempts are frustrated by print option in menu greyed out. I have deleted drivers and reinstalled without benefit. If this cannot be sorted I will have to cancel and go back to photoshop 5.

Firefox cannot display my bigpond emails, internet explorer displays them ok

Firefox displays my bigpond logged-in site then when i select my email web-page thepage is displayed but no emails.
When i do the same with internet explorer the email page is displayed correctly.
This problem has only occured recently. Firefox performed the task perfectly until a few days ago. Makes me wonder if automatic windows updates could have anything to do with it.

Firefox cannot display a frame due to protection reasons? Why did this pop up?

I have had Windows Live Hotmail open all day today, having it minimised in a tab. I switched back to the tab much later on during the day and I got a message which was something along the lines of "For security, Firefox has blocked this page from displaying a Frame" or something rather. I am not sure if this is because of a virus or??? What's a frame and why would I get this message all of a sudden?

Javascript is not working on some sites, and some sites also display in what looks like arabic. whats going on? how do i fix the javascript problem? javascript IS functioning in other browsers.

Site displays fine in IE but in Mozilla, displays in text only, with the message: "Billboard requires a JavaScript enabled browser to get the full experience." Getting similar messages on other sites. Also, some sites are displaying in part English, part what looks like Arabic to me. Whats that about? Havent played with any language settings- in the browser OR on my computer. The affected sites listed are both displaying in text only. The login page for Mozilla website is one of the sites i mentioned displaying in part (Arabic?)
