My lines on most of my websites I need overlap even after I updated to Firefox 8.
November 18, 2011.
I use Humana and CVS drug store on line. When I open the windows the lines and words overlap since I upgraded to
Firefox 8.
When this happens, I have to go IE 8, copy and past the sites so that I can read the page.
[http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_home.jsp CVS]
With the CVS website, on the older versions of firefox 3,
the entire page would be white, without the red borders.
Then if I wish to look at sales, I cannot read the pages, because all the words are overlapped either by line over line
or horizontally.
[http://www.humana.com/resources/support_center/myhumana_benefits/register/ MyHumana]
The same happens on this web site.
My GMail is fine and iGoogle homepage is good. I have watched the video about the new version. I am not ready for Firefox 8 if I cannot solve this problem.
I do know about the IE Tabs but I am a creature of habit, and prefer to have IE 8 on my desktop. I love Firefox- much faster than IE 8. I do not
BTW, my top line on the webpage now has:
1. File, Edit, View, History,Bookmarks, Tools, Help
2. New Tabs
3. Backspace, forward, home, WOT. Google search box,
Bing
4. My favorite menu bar for my home page, newspaper,
library, weather, and games.
I believe all this carried over from Firefox 3. I was afraid I would lose passwords and bookmarks.
Would it be better to re-download Firefox 7, and have it erase all my information after I print information of things I want to keep especially the passwords.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause.
*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"
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Firefox cannot load ANY websites, but IE can, even after I tried all the ideas in the current articles on this topic as of March 10, 2011!
One day it was fine, and the next day it stopped working! I have tried everything suggested under the topic "Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can."You should e able to install FlashPlayer separately on IE and Firefox. So you may use Flash 11.3 on IE and 11.2 or 10.3 on Firefox.
Work from the administrator account. First of all sort out Firefox, use the Adobe uninstaller to uninstall Flash before reinstalling 11.2 Afterwards check that IE is ok, the Uninstaller may have changed that so you may need to reinstall Flash on IE.
* see instructions in [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
You are apparently using an outdated Firefox 8. That is not secure you should update to the latest Release Firefox 13 (or within a day or so Firefox 14)
You may also encounter problems relating to use of RealPlayer software and that software may affect use of FlashPlayer 11.3
* see also [[Fix problems with RealPlayer add-ons]]
* a user ''blacksabath710'' recently posted a workaround in [/questions/931055] suggesting use of free software from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/
P.S.
When you finish set Firefox's FlashPlayer not to upgrade, and until this issue is resolved do not follow suggestions from Adobe, or Plugincheck etc. to upgrade Flash.
Use this test page form Adobe in each browser and account to check Flash is working ok
* http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
The test page will display version information and error messages or a Flash animation to prove flash is working. -
after i updated my firefox from 3.16 to 4.0.1, have some websites i can't load, and they showed: " database error" but b4 i never got this problem. Can someone tell me why ?
Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

How do I retrieve lost Bookmark icons most of which disappeared when I updated to Firefox 8?
After I updated to Firefox 8 I noticed that more than half of the itemsin my bookmarks list had lost their icons which were replaced by a dotted line in the shape of a square. I tried to go back to using Firefox 7 using System Restore. The restore was successful except that Firefox could not be opened. So I undid the restore and this allows Firefox to open and all seems ok apart from the fact that the majority of the items in my Bookmark list have disappeared and have been replaced as described. Can anybody help?
Hi everyone. At issue is that FF8, obviously due to a coding bug, no longer is retrieving the favicon from the root of a website's www directory website in some situations. I tried starting FF8 with all add-ons disabled, just to verify that an add-on wasn't causing the issue. The add-on Check Places will restore the missing favicons, but the favicon will disappear as soon as you visit the bookmarked URL if the favicon was missing after you upgraded to FF8.
Hehe. I am not too thrilled with Mozilla's new rapid development cycle. FF8 is simply a tweaked version of FF7 and as such it should have been a 7X upgrade. But I guess Mozilla wants Firefox to get up to version 10000 before Chrome does. Silly. -
My bookmark icons can be fully seen in bookmark toolbar. But on the address bar and on tab most of the icons are blank and when I open most of the websites, their icons are also blank, too. I've already reinstall the firefox 3.6.3 but it is the same. Please help me. Some of the websites show thier icon normally.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

Please could anyone help me with the "Request Timeout" thing? Once I installed the leopard on the laptop and Safari became a disaster .. It doesn't open most of the websites, even the apple website sometimes !!
The error I get is :
Request Timeout
The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.
Reference #2.e3373bc3.1331738341.0Once I installed the leopard on the laptop
But your profile indicates you have Snow Leopard installed v10.6.8
If it's v10.6.8, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 may help.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. -

Help........
I will starting afresh website in my iWeb, when I start the program it only shows the head or the command line and the command new website is inactive - what do I need to start over - what have I done wrongDon't quite understand what you mean, but it says at the bottom that you are still using iWeb 08 so depending on what OSX you are running, you might consider upgrading to iWeb 09. This works with Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
Apple no longer sells iWeb so if you decide to upgrade, then you'll need to purchase iWeb by going to Amazon and buying the iLife 09 or 11 boxed sets, both of which contain iWeb 09.
Install this on your Mac and it might solve your problems, or just ditch iWeb and start again with one of the newer programmes out there that are still being supported and updated, such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, Flux 4, WebAcapella 4 and EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com). -
A couple of days ago, I was notified of an update to Firefox. I declined because the details said it was incompatible with some features of my computer. The next time I logged on, the update processed automatically; I had no control. Since then, my HP C5580 printer is treated as off-line; it is not, works fine in test mode, and all connections are tight. I can not figure out what settings are messed up.
I am not a computer genius, and am not able to be sure that is was the Firefox update that caused the problem. However, this is the only change that has been done to the computer. Is there a way to see if there is an incompatabilty?I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

Since updating to Yosemite 10.10 and Safari 8, Safari has not worked properly. Safari used to automatically log me in to websites like amazon.com, Facebook, google, etc. I would click on the bookmark, and I could immediately start browsing. Now, I need to click the link, then click the username box, click on my username which autofills, and then login. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Alright, well again I was able to resolve this on my own. Not sure how though.
I started accepting the "Do you want to store this password..." requests and they started to stick finally. Facebook stays logged in now, even after quitting Safari. I've just upgraded to 10.5.8 and Safari 4.03, everything seems to be fine (knock wood). Marking this SOLVED for now. -
I just updated my firefox browser to firefox 5. Since then a website that i am in the process of creating, has stopped displaying banners. Instead of the advert i was expecting i get a question mark in the top left corner.
Adbock Plus is a Firefox extension, not part of Firefox, you don't have it.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
I see two banners and they are not blocked (they are legitimate)
"The High Street for your Desk Top" and "It's Time to go shopping"
I see the question mark now you refer to, in IE is see
[Like] [f] 12 likes. Sign up to see what your friends like.
Which is something to do with FaceBook. Appears in IE9, Google Chrome, Safari, all show the Facebook thing. Opera fails big time nothing but a repeated large button (>) with an arrow.
Might be the CSS code.

The url does not load into the address line when click on a link or open Firefox. It just says "Go to Website". If I open a second tab, then the url will display and when I close the 2nd tab the url to the current page will finally display. However, it is very annoying.
Look, many of us long time users of Firefox ''(12 years for me)'' feel pretty much the same as you do about Australis on the Desktop. I have tested and used the Australis UX Nightly builds from the days right after Firefox 4.0 was released; so Firefox 29 holds no surprises for me.
The best that anyone here in the Firefox Support forum can do is to offer advice on how to modify Firefox 29 or to mention which extensions you can install to to fix what you don't like about the changes. Beyond that, I suggest that you use the Feedback page to let Mozilla know how you feel. <br />https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback
"Bad design" ''(in your opinion)'' or not - use it as is, fix what you don't like, or switch to a different browser. Mozilla isn't going to dump Australis over user complaints, even if it would drag Firefox to its' grave. -

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.
