Newest firefox does not display aspects of simple html web site correctly

Newest Firefox does not display certain web pages correctly whereas Safari does- previous versions of Firefox worked fine.
The web pages are simple html using bumpers to position photos. Several of these pages allow "see through" in these bumper areas of prior page. It appears that Firefox is not releasing its memory of the prior page. Each of these pages is a specific address and should be loaded as a separate solo page. Please look at html pages 10 and 14 of this site. It seems that the code for these bumpers is not being honored and the persistent memory of the prior page is being intermixed. I cleared the cache and reinstalled Firefox with no change in problem.
Please help.
My business is struggling...

Hello - thanks for your response!
I reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1 - still have the problem.
Cache was cleared.
I tried restarting in safe mode also with no change.
I reinstalled Firefox 6.0.1 - works fine.
I have attached a screen shot showing the problem on 1 of the pages.
These are simple html pages that use .gif bumpers to help position the photos in some cases but not on all of the site pages. The sample screen shot shows the compound problem - the code for the gif bumpers is not being honored and part of the image from the prior page is showing through - the prior page is not being fully released. Each page is a separate entity with a separate address, so when the new page loads there should be no evidence or visibility of the prior one.
This simple bit of website building should be working on this browser, on this Mac with this OS. Safari works. Firefox 6 works.
Sample problem pages are 10 and 14.
Site is http://www.robertbellphoto.com
Thank you so much!

Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly from a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_ca or fr_fr. However, it does it correctly when my browser language setting is fr. How do i get it to display e with acute accent and other iso8859 characters correctly in a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_fr and fr_ca?

Use Unicode (UTF-8) for those characters.
Then you will always be sure that they are displayed correctly.

Mozilla firefox does not display Notepad++ web programming

mozilla firefox does not display notepad++ programming of web page and does not connect css files. Currntly programs using CSS + html5.

Could you check in the lower right corner of Notepad++ what character encoding is being used for your documents. (See screen shot attached.) Some encodings, particularly UTF-16 encodings, have caused other users problems with external content not loading. It is best to use the same encoding for all of your pages, style sheets, scripts, etc.

Firefox does NOT display Ebay items

A text of an ebay item# 130543746409 does NOT display in some parts of the auction item. When I use IE for item#130543746409, the text is displayed. I have screen prints of both Firefox and IE as proof of Firefox's shortcoming, but I see no way to attach the pics here.

Here is the screen print of the IE and Firefox displays. The proof is in the pics.

Firefox does not display Captcha box

Firefox 33.1 does not display captcha boxes. this is not new has been ongoing for a year or more and I keep a copy of IE installed so that when I find a site that tells me I have not entered the captcha correctly (The one that I didn't see at all) i can go into IE and work in there.

Actually, you might not have noticed this, but Disconnect is no longer updating the separate Google Disconnect and Facebook Disconnect extensions, and has created a consolidated extension that replaces those and has new features.

Firefox does not display item description while in EBAY.

In Firefox I log on to EBAY. Any item that I call up does not display the description nor did IE 8. I upgraded IE 8 to IE 9 and EBAY now works in IE 9.I have set off the forged wed site message. I have installed latest Firefox, Realplayer and Flash player. I am running Kaspersky firewall, and several malware scan and registry fixers.
The operating system is a current Windows 7.
Ebay says it is not their problem yet the symptoms occurred when they changed how they display the description for an item.
Need help.
Thanks

Firefox does not display URL selection window.

About 30 minutes ago, I clicked on the update Firefox button (3.6.6) I clicked restart when the update was finished. The new Firefox page DOES NOT display a window to enter a URL address or any of my frequently accessed URLs that I choose from. I rebooted by laptop, but Firefox page still does not display a window to enter a URL or to choose from my frequently used site urls.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated today 7/16 Friday (Taunton, MA) about 3:30 p.m.

* If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Why does firfox not display the footer on my web site when IE9 does?

I have made a web site, firfox does not display the whole page content... why wont it show the footer?
http://home2.btconnect.com/kcaringagency/
(test site)

The footer is being displayed for me on Firefox 5.0 and 3.6.18 - to the right side of the rest of the page content.
Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

Firefox will not display basic content on certain (common) sites

Hi there:
On certain websites (common) ones Firefox will not display options on the website.
These sites include Yahoo Mail, Twitter, Weebly.
An example would be if there is a menu of choices such as delete, ad, tweet, etc. instead of displaying correctly it looks like a box with 4 dots.
The other browsers are fine. I have the latest Firefox and this started with the previous version as well. I uninstalled/reinstalled without change.
Windows 7 Computer/Norton Anti Virus.
If allowed I can upload a screen shot.
Thank you.

> But I really don't want to allow all sites to use
> their own fonts, just, in this case, Twitter.
Exactly. It's not a very good solution to be forced to give up control/accessibility on every Web site, to fix a problem with just a few popular ones like Twitter.
It seems like a pathetic accessibility fail on the part of Yahoo, Twitter, etc., but since the practice is likely to persist and spread, please, Firefox:
=> allow site-specific configuration of "allow pages to choose their fonts."

Firefox does not display page information correctly

On the form on http://ppbm5.com/submission.html select a raid level of Raid 0 for the OS disk and select the Number of OS disk next. The only choices you see are 3, 4, 5 and 6. The same applies to the project disk question and the output disk question.
Using Chrome or Internet Explorer the number of disks shown to choose from are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Firefox hides or forgets the option for 2 disks.
The form used shows up correctly in the Form Maker site, it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver, it shows up correctly in both Chrome and Internet Explorer.
My only conclusion is that this is a Firefox issue. What can be done to resolve this?
As it currently is, one can only tell visitors to only use the form with Chrome or IE.
PS. I tried with FF 4.0 beta 10 and the problem persists.
BUT, the strange thing is on two other machines, with FF 3.6.13 the problem does not occur, so something must have messed up my regular system to prevent the correct display of the page.
I tried disabling add-ons, extensions and plug-ins, but that did not help.

Firefox does not display Mapquest maps correctly

Mapquest maps display with a vertical bar that is roughly 25% of the width of the map screen that shows as loading (gray color that never loads) or a different part of the map overlayed on this 25%. The location of the 25% is at different locations (vertically) and moves randomly left to right or whenever the zoom is changed. This also occurs when the street map is presented or the aerial map is displayed.
This does not occur when the same map is displayed in Internet Explorer 8.0.

Cleared the cache and cookies several times and nada.
Started Firefox in Safe Mode (Quit Firefox, hold down the Option key, Start Firefox). Clicked all the boxes and then clicked "Make Changes and Restart." Fixed the problem. Then repeated process until I successfully had unclicked all the boxes (one at a time) and clicked "Make Changes and Restart." Somehow it stayed fixed. I enabled my extensions and plugins one at a time to find the culprit and didn't find one. But at least it works.

Used windows update, installed 8 updates, FireFox does not display some websites and images correctly.

Hello,
Windows update installed 8 updates to my computer and now several websites are not displaying images or text correctly. Some forum looks like they were loaded in an extreme basic mode, another forum main page looks fine but sub forums are loaded in in the same basic looking mode, another forum only displayed 1 user avatar out of hundreds.
Chat/IRC clients wont load.
Everything works when I used IE.
I tried to follow the help thingies but was led to a dead link.

Anybody have any ideas?

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/

Firefox does not display frames, only lists. Help!

popular websites, e.g. youtube, are not displayed properly in so far frames are not displayed, only clickable lists of text. Please help!

It sounds like Firefox is, for some reason, not loading the CSS file for YouTube and other sites.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.
