Firefox is displaying pages incorrectly, spreading portions of content horizontally, while the rest of the page is okay. E.g- Amazon's header is stretched, with spaces between letters & words. Google results headings spread. Wells Fargo has problems too.

I am using Safari to send this question, as I am upset by in Firefox on many sites, where the horizontal spacing is busted. e.g.:
My display is 1920x1200 but still not wide enough to show the whole site horizontally in these sites! In addition, the text is all over the place.
At https://www.wellsfargo.com/biz/ for example, it is as if Firefox is not reading the css for the text, some of which is in narrow columns and some scattered!
Amazon.com, -- the header at the top is so wide I have to scroll to see it and many of the words have huge gaps between letters. In the home page body, most of it is okay, but down the right some items have prices that look like this: $56. 3 8
At Google, the linked heading of the results are stretched out horizontally.... not all, but on some searches it was prevalent.
What on earth is going on? I think I am going to try to get back an earlier version from my backup and reinstall that for the meantime... this is really a drag.
I put amazon in the url below, but note the examples above too.

Thanks anyway, but neither of these suggestions applies to what is happening.
The fonts on the websites I mentioned are not garbled and fonts on my machine are not corrupted.
The characters on the pages in question are correct, just spaced too far apart or appearing in the wrong places, e.g. scattered around the page or scrunched up in narrow columns.
In addition, portions of some web sites are enormously stretched horizontally, too, which leaves long horizontal gaps in between some words and characters.... and also makes it so that even my 1920x1200 monitor can't display, for example, the top header of Amazon.com without horizontal scrolling. Other portions of that page are a normal width, but I have to scroll way over to log in or find "view cart".
It seems to me more like the css for those sites is not being read or interpreted correctly.
Also, some sites appear normal, while others display these problems.
Something like this is happening in Safari too, though, I have discovered. Hmmm.
I should mention, too, that the sites look normal in an old version of Firefox I happen to have on an older Mac here, version 2.0.20. It's obsolete for some things, true, but it displays these problem sites perfectly.
And the problem does NOT happen in Opera at all (latest version)!
All the sites I gave as examples look completely normal in Opera!
Hmmm. I will have to start browsing with Opera, it appears if I can't find the answer.... :-( I usually only use it to check pages I have designed.

  • Emails printed from FIREFOX have spaces between letters

    Same email printed from INTERNET EXPLORER prints fine
    A document in WORD prints fine
    Has been working fine for weeks; just today, received an email, printed it (on FIREFOX) and got spaces between letters - spread out (UNREADABLE)
    Tried a few other emails, same thing happened
    An older email I had printed previously, that had printed fine, I printed again today: and it printed with spaces between letters.
    I've reset settings - problem still occurs
    Please advise

    That is caused by a Bug in Firefox 4.0b12. It was fixed in Monday's Minefield nightly 4.0b13pre development version. The fix will be in the Firefox 4.0 Release Candidate.

  • Can I print a 2 page spread to .PDF from a CS 3 document where the rest of the pages are NOT spreads

    Since I do not know how to really describe this, please have a look and tell me how (if it's possible) if I can print (to PDF) this catalog where the pages (4) and (5) can remain as a spread and the rest of the document would print single pages.  I can print this as a booklet, but it's sideways online.  Our goal is to have our customers able to view the PDF online and get its full impact.  We really can't do that viewing it sideways OR by having the pages 4 and 5 split up like they are.
    http://provsnusa.com/pdf/Product%20Guide_GenRec_WEB_CURRENT_VERSION.pdf
    The problem we're having is we would like to NOT break-up pages 4 and 5.  We want this to look good for the users.
    Is it possible to have 1 spread only display all the way across - in other words, is there a way to NOT split up just pages 4 and 5 in this document?  The only way I know is to print ALL the spreads. 
    I tried: Creating the PDF with all the spreads, it does not look as good, but at least the 2 page spread is not broken up (4 and 5).
    But now if I go to print the PDF with ALL spreads, then it does not print properly on letter sized paper.  Are there settings I can embed where this will print properly where the end user does not have to make adjustments - i.e. We want the end user to be able to just hit "print" and it's done.
    I tried: I also created this InDesign CS3 document as a PDF booklet.  While this is OK, it appears sideways online to the viewer which is not desirable in this case.  Is there a way where the end user can view this correctly as a booklet online without printing?
    I guess as an alternative, I can upload the booklet for printing, and another version for viewing.
    Maybe there's a special web based PDF viewer out there or something - I'm very ignorant here.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful
    Sorry for the long wind - hope I've made sense.
    Dan

    Why not reconstruct the pages in InDesign they way you want the double pages to appear. There may even be an imposition script available that will do the trick. You could then output to pdf all the pages you want the full spread on. Leave the original to create the pages you wanted left as is.
    You can ask in the ID forum about an imposition script. I know there was one with CS4, there may have been one with CS3.

  • Making a swf wait until the rest of the HTML page is ready?

    I have a site with a common SWF embedded at the top of each page, and then regurlar graphic/text HTML content below it.
    I was anticipating that the SWF might have a bit of a delay for it to load, and that the rest of the page would be appearing pretty much right away... and that DOES happen from time to time.
    However, the one thing I wasn't expecting, and don't quite understand, is that sometimes the SWF will appear first and even start playing, yet the rest of the page doesn't appear for a second or two, so I end up with this SWF movie floating in black.
    Not entirely sure what is holding the page back, since most of the graphics are shared/common on each page.  There are some embedded videos (with poster frames, so they shouldn't take too long to load) on some pages, which are probably the culprits.
    What I don't get (besides how to further optimize the pages), is why the SWF appears and plays, if it is an element within the table that contains all the content of the page.  I thought that tables only display once EVERYTHING in it is loaded... So, why would the SWF appear before the other elements are ready?  I'm assuming the other (non-common) elements are not finished downloading... although I'm starting to suspect that maybe they are, and the delay is something else... like the embedded QT's 'initializing' or something?
    Anyway, I don't imagine there is a solution here, but I'll ask....  Is there some way to have the SWF wait for the rest of the page to finish doing whatever it is that it's doing that is causing the delay?
    Weird thing is, it's kind of random...  Sometimes it loads instantly... other times, either the SWF is floating on black for a second or two... or the rest of the page shows up, and it's the SWF that's late.
    Anyone have any advice, words of wisdom, or bits of trivia that might be of use here?

    Yep, ain't that the truth....
    Along with the randomness of the HTML elements in general, the relationship between the Flash and HTML are similarly 'independent'.
    I was just wondering if there were some little tricks or methods used by web guys these days, as it seems like clever new techniques or new capabilities in CSS or Flash pop up from time to time.
    Very odd, though...  The interface graphics are very light, yet sometimes the page takes a few seconds to show, and the Flash appears right away (the opposite of what I'd normally expect, when things 'go wrong').
    I still don't get why the SWF shows up (when the rest of the table doesn't), if the rule is true that a table won't show up unless all the content is available.
    Is there some sort of weird exception if the content of a cell is Flash?

  • Different font in dropdown menu than on the rest of the page

    Unfortunately, I can't direct you to the site, as it's work-related and password protected, but the problem is that I'm getting a much larger font in the dropdown menus on the site, than the rest of the page, so I'm not able to see all the choices in the dropdown. Fwiw, looks ok in IE8, and I don't see the problem on any other sites. Any guesses at a setting or something I might be able to try?
    Thanks!

    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.

  • I can browse the rest of the web fine but am locked out of wikipedia and bit.ly and javascript has suddenly stopped working in my website. Has something fallen over and if so, what??

    Since last night, I can't load wikipedia or bit.ly The rest of the web seems to work fine, albeit *some* sites, but not others are a bit slow. The reason I think it might be a Firefox thing is that when I use a proxy server I can get in immediately (but free proxy servers are annoying and I still can't edit Wikipedia).
    I'm on a mac so don't think I have a virus, but it is odd that things are very selectively going wrong. Any clue what it might be?

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

    It's downloading with Firefox 3.6.27 as I write.  It's probably more a Safari problem in your case for which people on the Safari forum could provide suggestions.  Or mybe just try again in a while as I suspect everybody is downloading right now.

  • My users folder has 140GB used on it, but I cannot find where it is getting that calculation. I went through all of my folders and opened them all in an info panel, and they all come out to about 30GBs. Where is the rest of the data? -Using Mountain Lion

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then drag or copy — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Press return. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • 100 times a day, Firefox is getting stucked for 40+ seconds and them freezes completely, while the rest of the PC is in perfect function.

    When it freezes, the mouse pointer displays like if it was thinking and I can't simply do anything inside Firefox and the open page, however, the rest of the computer seems completely operational as I can open anything else from the Start Menu or opening any files... Then, 40+ seconds later, it becomes normal again... I don't think it happens on a regular time basis, but it happens many times in the day, some more continuous and it is becoming a real pain! I even re-started the computer a couple of times and nothing!... Honestly, I have been loyal to Firefox and still prefer it, but need a quick solution!... Please HELP!

  • Why, when I copy and paste a shape are the rest of the pages in the doc being deleted?

    I am trying to add an identical formatted shape below the first formatted shape, but when I select, copy, paste, it is deleting the following pages of the doc.  If I'm not careful, I will lose the rest of the doc.  What is going on? 
    If I select the shape I want to copy, it is outlined in blue and under Arrange the Group/Ungroup options are greyed out. 
    There is plenty of space for the new pasted image on the page and I just click below the original image being copied to paste it. 
    And sometimes there is this thick blue line at the top of the page when copy/paste -> dissapear.  What is that?
    Also, a pasted object always defaults to Inline instead of Floating, so a new image snaps to a grid.  Anyway to change that? 

    Sorry I didn't notice that you are on iOS.
    There are two kinds of Pages documents, Word Processing and Layout.
    Word Processing documents have text on every page that automatically flows on to the next page if it does not fit on the current page. A page only is shown on screen if it has text on it. Floating objects don't count.
    If you have a complicated set of objects with wrap pushing text out of the way and text being consequently pushed over to the enxt page, odd things can happen as that text, which includes invisibles like returns, spaces, tabs, page breaks etc push over to the next page or flow back to previous pages as you move objects and make room for the etxt or not.
    Layout documents, do not auto flow from page to page. Each page is an individual section and things stay where you put them.
    It sounds like you may be better off using a Layout template for your work. Choose one from the Template/Document Chooser.
