Rendering errors with firefox and chromium SPECIFIC to Arch LInux

Guys - can someone please browse to https://www.americanexpress.com and click on "User ID" using whatever browser? For me under both Firefox and Chromium, there is some sort of rendering error that prevents me from doing so. In the screenshot you can see how there is a "phantom menu" that appears above the login dialog:
I booted into a live ubuntu 11.10 CD and tried from there using firefox - no such error. Now I'm asking myself if this is somehow related to Arch and if so which package should I use in a bug report... thanks for the interest.
EDIT: x86_64 and nvidia drivers.
EDIT2: x86_64 and nouveau have the same result.

If someone need some more info, please tell me , I dont know where to start.
Firefox on ubuntu render correctly.

[SOLVED] XPCOMGlueLoad Error with Firefox and Thunderbird

When I update xcb-util from 0.3.6-2 to 0.3.8-1 I get the following error when starting firefox or (in this case) thunderbird:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/thunderbird/libxpcom.so:
libxcb-aux.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
There is no libxcb-aux-so.0 in my system but if I downgrade back to 0.3.6-2 then it installs in /usr/lib/libxcb-aux.so.0. If I copy this file and then update and paste it back in then thunderbird and firefox start fine with no errors but that doesn't feel like the proper way of doing things and it might lead to conflicts.
I wouldn't mind that much but I can't upgrade things like xf86-video-intel without the newer version of xcb-util.
Any help would be appreciated.

do not skip xcb-util or any other package. just fully update everything and no, is not about libxcb is all about xcb-util
thunderbird links to startup-notification, which links to new xcb-util.
if you use a xf86-video-intel from aur, you must recompile after fully updating your system

Type Error: Yahoo.widget.overlay is not a constructor. Only get error in Firefox, and started this morning.

There was an automatic Windows update this morning. Since then, I get the error message "TypeError: Yahoo.widget.overlay is not a constructor" when I open up certain websites, such as ancestry.com. Other sites, such as Facebook, don't work at all. Everything appears scrambled when I open the website. Other sites appear to not be affected, although I haven't done more than open them up. These errors are only occurring with Firefox, and not with IE. IE still works just fine.

Sounds like a problem with an Yahoo extension (toolbar)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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.

Glew 1.6.0.1 breaks firefox and chromium

After a glew upgrade from 1.5.8 to 1.6.0, both firefox and chromium were unable to start. The following is the error they spit out:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 583: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
I found in the testing forum this post that suggests that the breakage happens because of the google talk plugin: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119999 It got no replies though...
Does anyone know how I can upgrade while keeping the google talk plugin? I ended up downgrading glew and things are working fine so far. Thanks

the bug report's closed (rightfully, as gtalk is not in the repos)... unfortunately, I don't know how to build that plugin.

When accessing eBay with Firefox and launching a search, I get less results/hits with Firefox then when using Internet Explorer, why? Try it, you'll see.

For example access eBay with Firefox and launch a search on the word Frankenstein: you'll get something like 23,671 results (if you search in ''All categories''). Then quit the Firefox browser and load Microsoft Internet Explorer instead; access eBay again and repeat the very same search: this time you'll get 25,383 results. These are reral figures that I tried at 19:21 on March 20, 2014. Why does a search on eBay through Firefox report less hits than the very same search through Internet Explorer? Using Firefox rather than Microsoft Internet Explorer automatically means missing hits/results/items on eBay: that doesn't make sense but it does happen. Why is it so? Thank you, somebody, for shedding light on this problem.

Try this steps and try to load the same once again!!!
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.

A botched install on a Mac (to do with importing a profile) means that Firefox won't open on the grounds that the application is 'already open'. Tried removing everything I can find to do with Firefox and re-installed but no success. Any suggestions?

Little more can be added to the above. The warning screen says, 'A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.'
I have gone though all the libraries and preferences I can find and removed everything to do with Firefox and Mozilla - it was the first install of Firefox on this drive.

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one

I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I keep getting an AVG popup about cookies that I cannot get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome very often even though I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and cannot find anything. How does one get personal technical help?? These issues do not happen in Chrome at all. Thanks.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Site can't be viewed with IE, works with Firefox and Chrome

I have a family site that works fine with Firefox and Chrome, but with when we created a new page and uploaded it, it can't be viewed with IE.
http://www.thetravelintexans.com/states.htm was modified to add the very last picture in the last row, it was uploaded and works fine.
If you click on the last picture Andrew at Disney, it takes you to this page http://www.thetravelintexans.com/AndrewsDisney.htm . This page acts like it is loading in IE, but quickly says Done at the bottom of the screen, but it is blank. The source code can be viewed, but no detail of page at all. Again, it works fine with Firefox and Chrome.
I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
Thanks for any hints.

IE does get a bit anxious when it does not have DOCTYPE to work to. It tends to fall back into a quirks mode and behave irrationally. Makes me think of myself when I do not have goalposts to aim for.
Solution, merely give your pages a valid DOCTYPE and all is well. For more info see here http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetravelintexans.com%2FAndre wDisney.htm

Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar.

As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this:

You might want to consider getting rid of that '''desktopsmiley''' program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

Whatsnew page for 3.6.17 has formatting problems with Firefox and I.E.

I just updated from 3.6.16 to 3.6.17n and the whatsnew page, displayed after Firefox restarted, has formatting problems in the lower right hand corner.
I checked it with I.E. 8 and it also shows the formatting problem.
Why wasn't this caught before the page was put into "production"?
The URL is http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.17/whatsnew/
There is a line with the text "Release Notes » Firefox Features » Firefox Help »" that is being displayed on top of other material.
I wonder what a new Firefox user or an inexperienced user would think of this? They might think that they did something wrong or, worse, they might consider Firefox had problems and they won't use it.
This reflects badly on Firefox.
One more thing, could someone make this textarea taller and wider. It is so small as to cause problems typing and proofing the material.
The URL is https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d6&search=whatsnew+page+for+3.6.17+has+formatting+problems+with+Firefox+and+I.E.&showform=1
How about upping the cols and rows values? They are currently rows="10" cols="40"

As you have a Power Mac you also have a alternative option to consider which is a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html

Updated without my permission, and now doesnt work. I'm fed up with firefox and I'm not going to use it again.

When I opened Firefox, I found it automatically updating and trying to see if my add-ons could be updated. After I cancelled this because I didn't want this to happen, nothing is loading. It is not an internet connection issue because I am using Internet Explorer. I am sick of all the crashes and nonsense with Firefox and the constant badgering to update, when I DO NOT WANT TO. I am happy with the version I have and last time I updated I found it almost impossible to go back. Going to switch to Google Chrome

Thanks for the reply.I deleted an app to try your suggestion but as I can't download I have now lost that ap.I don't have it in 'purchased apps' now either as I downloaded it from my iTunes backup from my ipad 2 and that is not showing up any of my purchased apps either.This is a nightmare.Guess I'll have to go back into my iMac and try another backup but then I'll be back to square one.

Is there a compatability issue with Firefox and Andriod operating system 2.2.3? I can't get Firefox to work. I have tried uninstalling it and it won't download. in English

Hi Drbobdog, there shouldn't be a compatibility with Android OS 2.2.3. There may be a compatability with the device itself.
Here are the system requirements:

I hope this helps.

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow with most recent upgrades of Firefox .Use an iMac and an HP officejet printer. Printer works fine with Safari and woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages.

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.

Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.
