On my Mac, why do websites display differently with FireFox than Safari.

I have been using FireFox on my Mac and prefer it over Safari, BUT recently, some, not all, websites are not displaying correctly! When I use Safari all the content is there and the websites display as they are supposed to. (I tried to insert a screen shot but unable to do so) I have the most current FF version installed, unless FireFox is not happy with my older MAC OS ??

Thank you for the info!! Attached are a few screenshots to show the problem - I now know how to do a screen shot! thx.... anyway note on the Ancestry shot Safari shows a male or female head whereas Firefox show a simple symbol for male/female. I spoke with Ancestry and it is supposed to be the male/female head icons that are displayed. In the Yahoo shot Safair displays the icons and names for reply, delete etc but Firefox has some icon that only if you hover over it will it then display the name or what it is. this is very perplexing as I really prefer Firefox over Safari... any help will be appreciated! thank you

  • Website displays differently in firefox only

    Ive built a site and it displays fine in chrome and internet explorer but in firefox the second javascript slider is displayed to the far right side of the homepage instead of under the first slider like the other browsers display it.

    Can anyone explain what those yellow banners on the top of the screen that say "Internet Explorer blocks websites displaying content with security certificate errors, etc." mean and why they keep you our of certain websites and how you can get rid of them?  (Sorry for the run-on sentence/question.)

    Thank you! 
    It means there is a problem with the sites security certificate.
    There should be a "Continue to this website (not recommended)" message.  I would not recommend doing that unless it is a site you know and trust.
    In IE10 you can not disable that feature. 
    The following link will provide more information.

  • Images displayed differently in Firefox

    I have a Dreamweaver page that displays normally in IE. But when I open it in firefox, one of the elements is displayed differently. Specifically, I have some social media icons that are supposed to be displayed horizontally, and they are in IE. But when I open the same page in Firefox, it displays those same icons vertically. How can I correct that? Thanks.

  • Why JTree node display text with uncomplete word with ...

    Some nodes with short word, for example Header, display uncompletely with ..., while some nodes display text with complete word which has more letters, for example Substation.
    Why?

    If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
    see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
    that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
    see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
    so the posted code retains its original formatting.

  • Quicktime video looks different in Firefox and Safari, is there a fix?

    My full problem is described in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4451761
    but to keep it simple, my immediate issue is that Safari and Firefox are displaying my video differently. Firefox appears darker and Safari appears brighter. With my monitor set to a gamma of 1.8 (default for OS X) Firefox looks perfect and Safari looks washed out, and with my monitor set to 2.2 (Windows default and all-together better looking) Firefox is too dark and Safari is perfect.
    All I want to know is WHY they look different and how to fix this.

    Thanks for your response. While this may work with audio and video originating from your own computer it doesn't seem to effect audio and video viewed from the Firefox 5.01 browser which uses a QuickTime plugin. Audio and Video viewed from Safari and Firefox 3.6.19 work fine which leads me to believe the QT plugin and Firefox 5 browser are not working correctly.

  • Created site in IWEB 08, works on Safari but looks different with Firefox?

    I created a site with Iweb 08. I used Safari as the viewing browser and was happy with how the site looked. I then used Fetch to FTP the folder to the web server. When viewing the page on the server with Safari it was great, but when viewed with Firefox it was all frigged up. I didn't try it with Internet Destroyer cause personally I don't like it. I then published the page folder to Web.Mac.Com. The site works great on both browsers when accessed through web.mac.com. Is there something missing when accessing the site on my original server? My thought now is to remove the site from the original server and just bite the bullet and fly it on web.mac.com. Appreciate any thoughts

    I think part of my problem was trying to move content made with Dream Weaver into IWEB. My site was made with Dream weaver originally. I pasted it into IWEB, thinking it was possible to do. It was to a point. I had to redo all my links and buttons and so on, but the pictures and text content seemed to look fine. After somewhat completing the site I published to a folder and used Fetch FTP to move the site to the server I was using. That is when i got the different looks in different browsers. I then published to the .mac server as I had a 60 day free trial. Low and behold the site looked good on the 2 browsers I have on my new IMAC. I switched over to the Windows side of the IMAC and logged into the site with IE 7. It looked good there too. So I ended up going with the .mac account to host the site
    www.unitedpuett.com. I then had to redirect from Network Solutions, my registrar for the site, so when the address was typed in it would direct to the .mac server. This was another chore but was solved easily by
    http://networkcreators.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=492224%3ABlogPost%3A50148
    It all seems to work as it should.
    On another note, i read that Microsoft was releasing IE 8 beta. The big change was they were finally standardizing their browser to match all the others when opening pages.

  • Flex display problem with firefox !

    Hi,
    I am getting a wierd problem when running my flex app in
    firefox, however it does work fine in IE.
    Can you please find out the reason to why this kind of
    dissimilarity happen.
    Here is my mxml code which displays an orange area on the
    screen.
    According to the width specified in mxml the width should be
    674 pixels but for some reasons it is displaying the widh more than
    900 pixels, I can see the actual width in gradient but am not
    able to get rid of the background orange.
    This does happen when there is already a browser open (IE or
    mozilla). When all the browsers are closed and
    if we run the app from flex ide, it opens perfectly in
    firefox. As soon as I open a new instance of the application
    the problem arises again.
    In IE it is working perfectly fine.
    Pl. help me to find the solution of such a strange problem.
    Thanks.
    Soundarya

    On MacOsx (firefox 3.0.5) the width is correct (674).
    Probably your javascript embed has been messed up for some
    reason.
    It should be something like:
    <embed width="674" height="680" align="middle"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"
    allowscriptaccess="sameDomain".../>

  • How can I get interactive websites to work with Firefox?

    In the last week many of the interactive websites I've been using for years suddenly stopped working properly. However they do work with Internet Explorer. How can I get them to work again with Firefox?

    In what way are those websites not working?
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    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 or otherwise make changes.

  • Website viewing issue with Firefox 3.6 under Windows 7

    I use java script to list current headlines on my website userfriendlypc.net under, "In The News". The website has always looked good under Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome. Since migrating to Windows 7, Firefox, only Firefox makes the text link in this area look like crap after the first link. The text changes to a greenish color and the hovered link seems offset making it look really bad. This only occurs in Firefox and only under Windows 7. I have tested this under Windows 7 with a basic install of Firefox and under XP. No add-ins or anything else was added when it occurred on the test machine.

    I thought the ClearType configuration would fix the problem as it seemed to clear it up once ClearType was disabled however doing this made other things look like crap. I tried every combination available and this did not fix the problem. I was able to fix the problem however by eliminating the fade function from the javascript on the web page. The "In The NEWS" section still functions properly, just without fading the article titles in and out. A compromise I can live with. Thanks all for your help and hopefully, we won't run into any further problems.

  • Can't figure out why our toolbar is incompatible with Firefox 4

    Hi,
    We have a toolbar that is currently compatible with Firefox 3.*.
    I've changed the max version in install.rdf to:
    <em:maxVersion>4.0.*</em:maxVersion>
    repackaged and opened up the toolbar .xpi file, and Firefox still reports the toolbar is incompatible, but offers no reason why it's incompatible.
    Any ideas? Is there any way to see why Firefox considers it incompatible?

    Hi,
    I think I figured it out, it looks like I also had to increment the maxVersion in our em:updateURL XML file.
    Thanks!
