Firefox on Mac renders horribly--see link.

Looks great in Safari, but Firefox takes my 2nd text box and blows up the words and overlaps them to the point that you can't even see what the words say.
http://www.hmstechnology.com/discussion/hmstechnology/Welcome.html
Is there a fix for this? I am using iWeb 08, so does 09 do a better job? (09 is in the mail)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Phil

Nevermind. I changed some settings in firefox that rendered the box in a horrible way.

Why is Firefox on Mac rendering textarea content in italics on multiple sites?

For some reason, any <textarea> on a website is rendering the text within it in italic. This is very annoying. I have checked it on multiple websites, including the W3 Schools. I don't know what happened. Is it a setting in Firefox (or Firebug) or could it be an extension messing with things?

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

Skype chat links are not opening in firefox on Mac

Hello,
I have Mac book pro running OS 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard", skype 6.15 (335), and my default browser is Firefox version 32.0.3.
Recently I experience a problem when someone send me a link it dose not open in Firefox, actually it switch to Firefox when I click on the link on Skype chat but no new tab is opening. I have to right click the link and then choose "Open URL" to get the link.
If you have any suggestions please help.
Thank You

I had a similar problem on a website when a particular page was writing on the screen. This particular page later discovered contained a code that disabled anything from being clicked on or selected etc. It was as though there was an invisible windows in front (literally there was). I removed the code and everything went back to normal.
Nothing wrong with Firfefox, Windows or Ubuntu. Incidentally, windows Internet Explorer v8 didn't have a problem since it was not up to date to handle the new CSS code. :)
Here's the code that prevented anything on the page from being clicked:
<div id="FirebombOverlay" style="display: block; position: fixed; left: 0pt; top: 0pt; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; outline: medium none; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; z-index: 999999;"></div>
Most likely it got injected there without the user being aware of it. This was injected back in march 2012 so since then the browsers did not pick it up and just plainly ignored the code until new browser updates got installed to handle the css code.
I have no idea how it got there but my best guess would be a silent plugin of which I have no idea which one.
The above code is some form of style sheet code that puts a layer in front of the page. It would be put into good use in stopping people from selected the page contents or to do damage to there site. You can perhaps put it over images from stopping people downloading using browser right click save image command.
I hope this would help those who are having the problem.

What is the latest version and updates available of Firefox for Mac system 10.3.9? Can you provide a link of this for downloading.

What is the latest version and updates available of Firefox for Mac system 10.3.9? Can you provide a link of this for downloading. I am currently using Firefox 2.0.0.20 but need to upgrade to use Bell.net email.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last version that works on OS X 10.3.9
You may want to consider using another browser if 2.0.0.20 does not work for your email. You could try using Safari for your email. If that does not work or prefer an alternative, a couple of options are [http://www.icab.de/dl.php iCab 4.8] or [http://www.opera.com/download/?os=mac&ver=9.64&local=y Opera 9.64] (Opera 10 does not work on OS X 10.3.9)

Flash content rendering on FireFox on Mac

Hello,
I have a expanding ad test page which works fine on Windows
IE and FireFox, but on FireFox on Mac, the clipping doesn't work
properly, you will see the stuff on the expanded area after the ad
is collapsed.
Anyone knows what could caused this problem? Is it Mac OS
related?
Here is test url:

Thanks,
Wei

As it turns out, rebooting solved the problem. Should have tried that before. Rebooting is always the answer. I did also update to 10.9.4 in the process, so that may have had an impact, although I suspect not.

I do not like to see that mozilla offers firefox for MAC and also CAMINO browsers.

I like Mozilla.
BUT I do NOT like to be offered two browsers for my macbook.
WHY am I offered CAMINO and FIREFOX? Does not make sense.
Because CAMINO is more adhered to the MAC environ, I suggest you eliminate the other and just rename CAMINO as the version of FIREFOX for Macs! Simple, more economic for you.
Because now if I pick CAMINO I am picking a not very well known browser, and some webpages even do not recognize it (like the www.uned.es)

You can provide '''feedback''' to Mozilla here: <br />
http://hendrix.mozilla.org/
I'm sure the users and developers of the Camino project would disagree with your opinion. And if other people thought like that back in 2002, Firefox might not exist today.

Download Firefox for Mac fails - no file downloaded.

I try to download Firefox for mac (OSX 10.7.5), and it looks like it is being downloaded (on Safari) but there is no file in the download folder, and no invitation to drag the icon to the applications window. Checked desktop, applications, and documents folder. It just isn't there.

Hello pentemeyer, this is Safari issue ! not firefox. see if you can find something useful in the next link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ph4982

Firefox on Windows loads the same site significantly more slowly than Firefox on Mac, across multiple computers

I'm experiencing a very strange problem where the same website consistently loads slowly on Firefox for Windows but it loads at a normal speed on Firefox for Mac. This problem occurs on multiple computers. The website is https://www.cwds.pa.gov and I'm using Firefox 26.
If I open up Network in the Developer tools and check the Timings for the page, I see that Firefox on Windows generally spends >30 seconds on the PublicHomePage.aspx file. Looking for more detail under Timings, I see that most of the time is spent receiving the file. I might be mistaken, but if the problem lies in the server sending the file slowly shouldn't the aspx file also take a similar amount of time in Firefox for Mac?
Also, I don't experience this problem when using IE9 on the same PCs that experience this problem. So far it's happened on multiple Windows computers, some of them VMs and some of them actual hardware.
I'm not the author of this web site, but I'm trying to support users who are attempting to access the site. To me it seems like something weird is going on in the Windows build of Firefox, given that the Mac build works ok and other browsers on the same computer also load the page fine. It is a government web site, though, so it could just be some unusually horrible markup causing the problem. :) Thanks!

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Need legacy Firefox for Mac OSX 10.3.9 Power PC G4

Can anyone send a link to a .dmg file for legacy Firefox for Mac OSX 10.3.9 Power PC G4. I'm trying to give my mom my old Mac Mini that doesn't have an intel processor, so current browsers aren't possible.

Grab it while you can do easily, Firefox 3.6 is still supported and may be used on a G3

Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do

Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do. When a request is posted on my FB page and I click on it to send or receive a gift it just shows that its "connecting" and sits there for several minutes then only sometimes actually goes to the gift. How can I fix it. My other computer that is still on firefox 4 does not have this problem.

Hello AKBOB, if exist a problem with update or permissions then the better way is to '''download and install the new version'''.
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

Need internet explorer of firefox on Mac

I am going back to school and doing it online. I have done a system check with the platform my school uses and it says I must have internet explorer or firefox. Is there a mac version of these that will work? We had looked into the option of getting Parallels and windows installed but can't really afford it right now. By using either one of these is there security issues I should be aware of?

Click here and use the Mac OS X download link. Internet Explorer should no longer be used in Mac OS X.

I want to download Firefox for Mac OS 10.4.11, but it downloads Firefox 4 even when I click on 3.6 0r 3.5. How can I download the correct Firefox for Mac OS 10.4.11??

I have Mac OS 10.4.11. My Mac Laptop Pro has a new hard drive and has been completely refurbished by Apple. However ever since, I have not been able to obtain the correct Firefox. Prior to the replacement of my hardrive, I had Firefox and used it for many years. Not being able to download the correct Firefox is frustrating. Firefox 4 will NOT work on Mac OS 10.4.11. But every time I click on a download of 3.5 or 3.6 the download turns out to be Firefox 4. I cannot use Firefox 4, do not want Firefox 4 but it keeps trying to plant itself on my computer even though it will NOT work on my computer. YIKES!!!!

There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

How to install Firefox for Mac on an external USB 3.0 drive and run Firefox portable?

I recently acquired a new MacBook Pro 10.9 Mavericks laptop and, I would like to to install Firefox for Mac on a Mac-compatible external USB 3.0 HD, and import my 16MB of legacy bookmarks from a PC-compatible USB 2.0 HD and, run Firefox as a portable application, as I did for years on my 7-year-old EOS'd Dell Inspiron XP laptop.
Do-able?
If so, I would like to do the same with Thunderbird...

Hi,
There are portable versions of Firefox and Thunderbird but Mozilla doesn't offer them directly. You can get them from PA.com. Links are below:
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Firefox 28.0]
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable Thunderbird 24.4.0]
All you have to do is open it, and point the installation directory to your USB Stick

Hi Ryan,
I managed to find this reference specifically for restoring on Snow Leopard:
If you are using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, start your computer from the installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
Now that was copied from this more comprehensive reference:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
You may also find this article helpful:
http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
Finally, I cannot see why Time Machine would leave out your playlists and ratings? Think about it. Why would Time Machine specifically copy everything BUT your playlists and ratings? Ryan, what are your options? I would have to ask you this: Are you certain that you properly did the sync? That is another/different forum altogether: Using iPhone /see subsection on Syncing.
Either way...
Best Regards,
mm
EDIT: For whatever reason I tried three times to edit out one of the redundent adjectives... either different or another which preceeds the word forum, but the advanced editor would (apparently NOT allow me to do so). I hope that it doesn't render without any adjective before the word forum.
