Firefox displaying page in portrait instead of landscape

I have a problem with web pages created using Microsoft Reporting Services to display query results. I'm not the developer for these pages, but I am a software developer so technical replies are welcome.
Pages that display correctly in IE 7 (and earlier versions) are not displaying correctly in Firefox 4.0 It appears as though the landscape format intended for display is being shown in portrait layout.
The FF display also uses the wrong font for the titles down the left side. It's using the correct font in all other areas of the output. The IE display has the correct font.
I can't provide the URL because it's an internal, secured site, but I have example images of the same page as displayed in IE and FF.
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks.

Here are the images I referred to in my initial post. IE display is on the left, FF on the right. Data in the images has been obliterated for security reasons.

Document improperly printing in Portrait instead of Landscape via Remote Desktop

When attempting to print a document in Landscape orientation, it always comes out in Portrait.
Using Remote Desktop Services via Windows Server 2008 R2 with all Windows Updates.
Local client - Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit with all Windows Updates.
This does not happen using another printer (Dell) - so I'm leaning towards it being an HP issue.
Page orientation is set to Landscape in Word (for example)
When going to print -- it's showing that it's set to landscape.

So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network?
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3762364
Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

PDF Report prints Portrait Instead of Landscape

Hi,
We've created several PDF reports - some that print portrait and some landscape. For the portrait reports, they print fine both from Adobe Acrobat and directly from Oracle to the printer.
When we try to print a Landscape report, it prints as Landscape from Acrobat, but portrait from Oracle. We followed note 421358.1 on Metalink on how to set up a new .cfg file , print style, and print driver for printing landscape reports, but now it's not printing at all when we assign the style to the report. We tried removing -pairs and -shrink from the cfg file (Oracle analyst suggetsion) and it's still not printing.
Has anyone else had this much trouble trying to set up Landscape printing? We're using the acroread tool.
Thanks,
Suzanne

If you've bounced your concurrent manager, double checked your command string and it still doesn't print right, what O/S do you have and what version of acroread do you have? There's a known bug in Adobe 7 on HP-UX where landscape reports will generate in landscape correctly(i.e. copies=0) but when sent directly to a printer, they come out portrait. It happened to us on our system.
I tried -shrink and -landscape but it didn't work. Our user decided to just generate them and print them elsewhere.

One particular website on loading in Firefox , displays the HTML script instead. While the same website loads fine in IE7. Why?

The webpage address is
http://www.utdallas.edu/~jxc064000/CS6359Fall2011.htm
The same page opens fine in IE7. I am more of a firefox guy and i rarely use IE. Being a computer science student myself i am rather curious regarding the possible reason behind this problem.
My operating system is Windows 7.

'''Change Firefox to use the encoding Unicode (UTF16)
It apparently has a lot of odd characters within it, presumably an unexpected coding.
I tried the text as displayed in firefox (NOT the page source) cut out the first two characters and pasted the remainder into a html file and it opened ok in firefox.
I then changed to Unicode (UTF16) and the original webpage then loads and displays ok.
* Menubar -> View -> Encoding -> () Unicode (UTF16)

Printing reports in portrait instead of landscape

Hi,
We've got some reports written in Crystal Reports XI - implemented on a specific 'Crystal Reports server' and users run these reports using InfoView.
99% of the time...the reports print fine, but occasionally a report that has been designed to print in landscape mode starts printing in portrait and the only way to get it to go back to printing in landscape is to reboot the server. (We've tried doing things like checking the printer drivers haven't changed; print to a file rather than a printer; print to a different printer; get the user to log off and back on; get another user to try and print the report etc. - but this doesn't work).
We've also checked the server for issues to do with memory and disk space...they seem fine (the machine has three hard drives with 1 GB, 20 GB and 80 GB of space free).
Help! Has anyone else experienced this problem? What is causing the issue? I don't really want to have to reboot the server each time this problem occurs...
Regards,
Mark

Hello Mark,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

HT5012 What causes an IPAD 2 to orient to portrait instead of landscape inside apps?

What causes an IPAD 2 to not change to landscape orientation in apps? Is it broken or is there a setting not set correctly?

As said before, some apps must be run in a specific orientation, however, there is a setting to lock it in one or the other orientation. Getting to this setting can be achieved by several different ways depending on system model. The new IOS 7 has a menu that can be dragged upward from the bottom of the screen. The icon with the lock is your target.

DYMO printing in portrait instead landscape

Our DYMO Twin Turbo Labelwriter is printing in portrait instead of landscape when I print from Address Book, so the text is across the short length of the label and very small.
I've installed the latest driver (7.7.1) and reset the printing system to no avail. Any ideas?

I have spoken to DYMOs software engineers and they reproduced the problem. This has been an issue in address book since about 10.2 or 10.3. I submitted a report to apple but have not received word if it will be fixed.
The best solution I have found is to use SOHO address label software from macupdate.com which is much better than DYMOs crummy software IMHO. I think you are the only other person that has noticed this bug. It seems to only occur in printing address labels directly from Address Book.

Change pages to portrait

Is it possible to alter a page in iCloud pages to portrait rather than landscape? Thanks Holi

I think I may have found a fix. In Firefox, click on '''File''' and then '''Page Setup'''. Then make sure the Orientation is set to Portrait and not Landscape. Save your settings and the document should print in Portrait view now.

Displaying Page Number in Smartforms

Hi,
I'm doing a page break in smartforms by date. In my output, the page number displays Page 1 of * (instead of Page 1 of 11) but when it displays 2 digits for the field SFSY-PAGE, it displays the total number of pages. (e.g. Page 10 of 11). I used the system fields (Page sfsy-page of sfsy-formpages). I just want to ask if any of you has an idea or have experienced this kind of error. Your help is highly much appreciated. Thanks!

I just updated to 10.8.4 and my mail program is showing a series of boxes with AAAAs inside them instead of the email addresses. Also when on Safari web pages are displaying the same AAAAAs instead of type. Firefox displays fine. Can someone help me?

Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Firefox 3.6 does not display pages correctly

I recently upgraded to 3.5 beta 4 and it worked ok. 2 weeks ago it stopped displaying pages correctly. Uninsalling and reinstalling did not cure problem. I unistalled and installed v3.6. Same problem.
I could provide a screenshot of Mozilla home page. Backgrounds, table borders and some inages to not display. I have disabled all plugins and "load images automatically" is checked.
The images and background of this page do not display. I checked with K-meleon and IE.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
On other platforms instead of Tools > Options use:
*Mac: Firefox > Preferences
*Linux: Edit > Preferences
*Windows: Firefox > Options
<i>Press F10 if the menu bar is hidden on Windows and Linux or use "Firefox > Options/Preferences"</i>

FM9 makes landscape pages into portrait when saving as PDF

I have FM9, Windows7 Professional 6.1.
One doc has landscape pages, but when I save to PDF I get portrait pages cropped left and right.
I reinstalled FM9, got the updates (which weren't in the download of FM9 -- whyever not?), and I got the right orientation once. Next day, back to portrait for these landscape pages.
Today I tried to install FM12 as a trial, but it won't. I get to the "Currently Installing Adode PDF Creatino Add-on XI" and that's where it stops, 42% complete. So that won't be any help. I was hoping FM12 would not have this problem.

You need to select a Distiller joboptions file where the "Auto-Rotate Pages" option is set to "Individually" instead of "Collectively by File" or "Off".
Regarding the trial, if you already a version of Acrobat installed, you must NOT use the default options for installation. This tries to install the PDF Creator add-on (essentially a limited form of Distiller) that will conflict with the existing installation. The install may either overwrite part of the exising Acrobat insallation or fail and still damage the existing installation.

Firefox does not display "Server not found" for unexist. sites, rather Firefox display previous page or blank page.

Firefox displaying regular site (address), something like: http://www.monitor.hr/, and everything is fine. Next, I write something that do not exist (site do not exist, or it is temporary out of function, etc). So, in Firefox address bar I will write something as: http://www.news-bar.hr (at this very moment, I know this site is under DOS attack, and site is not available). But my Firefox is still presenting "last correct site" ie www.montior.hr. This behaviour is wrong. Instead "last correct site", Firefox must display message "Server not found", or something simmilar.
Same behaviour exist if I start from "blank-page". I write some "wrong address" into address bar, and after some time, page is still blank, again there is no "server not found" info.

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

Every since I have upgraded to IOS7, Words with Friends only displays in the portrait position. Cannot seem to change it to landscape. Can anyone help?

Every since I have upgraded to IOS7 on my ipad, Words with Friends only displays in the portrait position. I cannot get it to be landscape. Can anyone help me out. I have turned it off and started again and keep turning the ipad only to have it go to portrait in the opposite side.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
The default settings mean that cookies are enabled and thus should work.
