Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Browser Font Issue

Hi, i'm running lion 10.7.4 on my imac (mid 2011, i7) I have safari, google chrome, and firefox available, but I get the same odd fonts showing up on ebay for example. The font looks like times in some of the menus and sign in area, yet elswhere on the page the fonts look fine. 
I think it may be a system font glitch but can't seem to find what is causing it.
I don't have the same problem on my old G5 so can someone help?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Bee, thanks for the help...
i did load up suitcase and noticed a few fonts that shouldn't have been in the library, so i cleared these out so that I'm back to the base fonts supplied, that's a total of 188 in the library and 37 in the system as far as the apple site shows. Please see attached image with red rings around the fonts issue areas.

  • GetJSON not working in Chrome & Firefox plus other issues.

    Hello!
    I am working on a searchable video gallery. Please see the code here. I'm sure that my code is far from optimal.
    I'm currently running OSX 10.9, and updated versions of Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
    I reading a (verified) JSON file to get information about each video (name, url, tags etc) and am reading that into an object with getJSON. I am then taking this information, converting the tags into strings, and then, after removing duplicates, I'm using jquery ui autocomplete to make a drop down smart search. I've added the js files using the scripts button, and the css with yepnope. Upon selecting an entry and pressing enter, I remove currently displaying videos, and then add videos that match the current tag.
    Bug 1 (Minor): When I preview this in Chrome everything works perfectly. In Firefox, there is one bug, where if I highlight the text in the search box, I can no longer enter text, and I hear alert audio. Safari gives a 404.
    Bug 2 (Critical): However, when I go to publish, and run the html file directly (either in the publish folder, or in the root folder), everything works in Safari, but in Chrome and Firefox getJSON doesn't run. Neither videos nor the boxes that house them display either. I've put $(document.body).append("text") lines throughout the code, and nothing displays in or below the getJSON procedure.
    It feels like there is some file that is contained within the *.an file that I am missing when I am trying to run the html separately.
    Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much.

  • Safari and Firefox crashing - Security issue?

    I was running Safari 2.X.X (I think it was 2.0.4 and Tiger 10.4.X) when Safari started crashing. The crashing was every 10 minutes or so, but eventually Safari crashed almost instantly when opening, even if all I did was open Safari from my Dock.
    I tried using Firefox, but that too, started crashing almost instantly, after being opened.
    I restarted my PowerBook (G4, 1.33) and the problem still remained. I then updated OS X Tiger to 10.4.11 which also upgraded Safari to 3.0.4. After the update, Safari crashed once or twice, but then has been stable for "a while now." However, Firefox still crashes like mad (Edit: Firefox has now remained open and not crashed for a few minutes now).
    Is there anyway a virus/spyware/malware caused this crashing? A search of the Internet seemed to indicate things like corrupt preferences or issues with Input Managers. However, I'd like a little more reassuring, as well as suggestions to why Safari now seems to work ok, but Firefox still crashes.
    Any suggestions or comments?

    I can't speak for Firefox (do you have the latest version?) but
    If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    (Trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard widgets etc also rely.)
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-on that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.0.4.
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2008-001.
    As Leopard also uses Safari 3.0.4, much of the above may well also apply to Leopard, but is not guaranteed.

  • HELP! SAFARI AND FIREFOX BROWSER ERRORS

    Hello,
    Im looking for some help with my Mac Book Pro. For the last two weeks Ive been having serious issues with browser errors. I currently use Firefox and Safari. Certain links do not work properly or not at all. I just click and nothing happens. Here is a sample of what is at the bottom of firefox when i click the link : javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new%20Web Form_PostBackOptions("ctl00$ctlPagePlaceHolder$Add ToWatchList2",%20"",%20true,%20"",%20"",%20false,% 20true))
    Also, The browsers randomly run like crap. I just went to my sharebuilder account and the web page says this:
    This page contains the following errors:
    error on line 15 at column 66: EntityRef: expecting ';'
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
    If I use my other MAC Computer no problems at all. Only this one. I just dont get it.
    Another thing. Ive been running repair disk permissions and everyday its correcting what appears to be the same errors?
    I just updated to Safari 5 and now have more Issues. Some pages dont even Load.
    I have Net Barrier 5 and been running it for about a year. Its like all of sudden everything just starting malfunctioning.
    Anyone have any Ideas?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions.....
    At least part of the problem, especially since the issue is effecting both browsers, is Net Barrier.
    You are already running an operating system that protects your Mac against virus and malware, read here: Snow Leopard Has You Covered
    You might want to consider uninstalling NetBarrier software.
    Another thing. Ive been running repair disk permissions and everyday its correcting what appears to be the same errors?
    Those aren't errors, they are "messages"... if run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions, if you see, "Repair Permissions Complete", that's it. Nothing more to do.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing problems if they are outdated. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Try emptying the Safari cache from the Safari Menu Bar. Safari/Empty Cache. You can also try Resetting Safari from the same menu.
    Web pages include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    For Firefox from the Tools menu, select Clear Recent History... .
    From the Time range to clear: drop-down menu, select the desired range; to clear your entire cache, select Everything. Click the down arrow next to "Details" to choose what history elements to clear. Click Clear Now.

  • Safari 5 - weird jaggy fonts issue

    this particular bug i'm reporting appears at the bottom of this page:
    http://www.apple.com/macmini/design.html
    it's very strange - when you first go to the page, the whole block of text links (in the div with class="breadory") appears with jaggy fonts, like the anti-aliasing isn't working properly - see screenshot here: http://i50.tinypic.com/dy4mkn.png
    now if you click the "removable panel off" javascript link in the image of the mac mini bottom cover, and then check the "breadory" text block again, the text is now smooth, as seen here: http://i47.tinypic.com/ejirk8.png
    and if you click the "removable panel on", the "breadory" text block becomes jaggy once more.
    i've tried troubleshooting, disabling extensions, javascript, etc. to no avail.
    why is that?
    (images edited to put everything within view; otherwise unretouched.)

    thanks ~Bee and sjlee0! esp for sjlee0's screenshots, so i know now it's not a problem isolated to myself. i'm not sure if it's the correct term, but i think there is something wrong with safari 5's(?) subpixel font rendering under certain unknown conditions (when javascript routines conflict?). when i zoom in all the way on text that is black (which demos the problem more clearly than color text), i should see the color components to either edges at the left and right esp of vertical font elements. but where text goes jaggy, when you zoom in all the way, you still only see grayscale anti-aliasing along the edges, no colors. here are 2 zoom-in shots of the title of this web page (which is jaggy in safari but ok in firefox), using apple's digitalcolor meter:
    http://www.last.fm/music/AllisonMoorer/+videos/1-_KNsOTmv8Vc
    jaggy capital A zoom (in safari 5): http://i49.tinypic.com/35jkoph.png
    smooth capital A zoom (in firefox 3.6.3): http://i50.tinypic.com/152ztsi.png
    in some web pages, the problem appears as soon as the page loads. in others, it happens right after you do something, like mouse over a link.

    Try booting in Safe Mode
    What is Safe Mode
    Booting in Safe Mode takes a little longer than a normal boot but it deletes font caches and might help.

  • Firefox Browsing caching issues when using OBIEE

    We have experience a problem when using Firefox. It seems the browser caches the results, of an analysis for example, and even though we have made changes to the data, flushed the OBIEE cache, we still see older results because the older results were cached in the browser. We have to go to options -> history -> clear recent history to get the new results. (And sometimes this doesn't seem to do the trick.)
    Anybody else seen this problem or have a resolution?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    There are different caches in OBIEE. Probably you hit stale entries in "Presentation Server Cache".
    This can be controlled by adding the following to your instanceconfig.xml
    <CacheMaxExpireMinutes>5</CacheMaxExpireMinutes>
    see also here:
    http://obiee101.blogspot.ie/2008/11/obiee-presentation-services-cache.html

  • Safari and firefox and chrome

    can a macbook process using safari and firefox (or chrome) at the same time? Does each compete for IP addresses?
    Thanks for insight

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Your ISP assigns a new IP every time you access your browser not matter which browser it is. You can have as many different browsers open at the same time as you want. Safari/Chrome/Firefox ...
    Does each compete for IP addresses?
    No.

  • Browsers (Firefox etc.) have font issues

    Safari can't read all web pages. Mac support suggests Firefox, but when loaded the much of the text reads like this ':=@@*$++?aKHMO=^T6'. When Netscape was downloaded the same issue occurs. Since these issues Safari's speed has degraded significantly.
    When I created another account and downloaded Firefox the font issues don't occur. I don't want to move everything to another account. Is there a solution?

    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)

  • How do I fix sign in problem with my Yahoo hompage via Firefox browser

    The normal browser process, of course, is that when you click on the Firefox icon it opens the browser and automatically signs you in to your preselected home page. Unfortunately I have recently run into a problem with error messages popping up and obstructing this opening process.
    Special comment: It started occurring at about the same time my Yahoo mail account was breached and spammed and I had to change my password as a beginning move to counter the account security breach. I am not certain this incident produced my current problem, but it quite possibly related to the cause. It still remains that have to clear the problem, whatever caused it.
    These error pop up messages do not occur when I use the Internet Explorer or Chrome browsers, so it certainly appears to be a Firefox browser related issue. I have tried clearing all cookies, enabling and disabling all Java plug-ins and extensions, changing passwords, and nothing has had any effect.
    The first pop up window is headlined as, "[JavaScript Application]. It then cites my correct Yahoo username and is followed by this text; "(my username)- Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username".
    Note: Entering my email address as a username did not help either. The username cited in the error
    message is the correct username as well.
    The second pop up window says,
    "We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page".
    Note: Clicking the "OK" button does not re-sign in the page. What does happen is that it reloads the generic MY Yahoo home page and then I have to manually sign in to get my personally customized My Yahoo home page.
    I have since upgraded to the most current Firefox browser version, but the problem remains the same.
    If anyone has any idea on how to remedy this sign-in issue I would appreciate hearing from you.
    Thank you

    If you had Firefox save your Yahoo password, first try deleting that here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"
    The "signed out" message seems to be related to how Yahoo authenticates you. Some users have reported that disabling automatic proxy detection solves the problem, and it also resolves an issue of getting logged out every few minutes, if you have ever experienced that.
    To make the change:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the "Network" mini-tab, click the "Settings" button, then choose "No Proxy" and OK your way back out.
    If your work connection requires you to use a proxy server, try the "Use system settings" option instead.
    Does that help?
