Slanted text in Firefox

Boss's Macbook about 2 years old, snow leopard.
text input into the search field of a google textbox field is rendered as slanted, small font and illegible, but results in a correctly rendered search results page.
When i mouse over the scroll bar, i can see the scroll bar become slanted, then the entire page becomes slanted making it very difficult to read. This problem doesn't occur in Safari.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Ray

hello, please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general.

Since this morning all text in firefox look slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently.

Since this morning all text in firefox looks slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently!? I would like to have it changed back to what it was. Any help is welcome.
Some facts:
- Happens only in Firefox (IE & Chrome still look the same)
- Already did a reset to defaults
I'm using the latest version of Firefox
Screenshot can be found here: [http://www.ka-pow.net/media/images/firefoxissue.jpg link text]

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View/Beeld > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools/Extra > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

Sliding text in Firefox location/search bars

It has come to my attention that, when I use a bitmap font for my GTK apps, the text in Firefox's search and location bars tends to slide arround annoyingly when selected. Here's a screenshot of this:
The "sliding" is visible in the circled areas.
Is there anything that can be done about this?

Anyone know the reason this occurs in apps that aren't pure GTK? Does it have something to do with Cairo? Firefox can IIRC be compiled with Cairo support - would that fix it?

Can't lift text from Firefox

Searched and found one old thread where someone couldn't lift text from Firefox and was advised to View Source and copy it from there, but that will not work for me. Is Firefox just liftproof or what? I lift headlines and a paragraph or two from news stories and link to them from my site bradmesser.com. OS 10.6.5, iMac 7,1, Firefox 3.6.12 (new Firefox beta doesn't work well at all for me, trashed it)

Normally I copy text from a site in Safari, then go to Dreamweaver and paste that text. When I copy from a Firefox site such as <http://www.sacbee.com/2010/11/12/3179800/white-house-notebook-no-dead-fish.html?storylink= lingospot_related_articles> and go to Dw and paste, nothing is placed. But when I paste to, say, TextEdit, it DOES paste. Too weird, huh.

Vertical Text in Firefox

Is there a way to display vertical text in Firefox? I can do
it with CSS3 in IE, but not in FF.
Is there a way to generate a dynamic image containing the
text, and then reference it with <img
src=vertText.cfm?text=myText...
I know this can be done in PHP, but how would one approach
this problem in ColdFusion?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

with CF8 you could create a cfc which would accept text as an
argument
and using cf's new image manipulation tags and functions
create the
image on the fly for you and output it to the browser
with prior cf versions it is probably still possible, but
trickier since
there are no built-in image manupulation so one has to use
3rd party
image tools...

When I cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I get an error stating 'Out of memory, close applicantions and restart windows'. This does not work. When I had IE I never had this issue. Help!

When I try to cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I receive an error that says 'Not enough memory, close applications and restart windows'. This never works! I never had this issue with IE! How can I fix this issue?

If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck!

Text in Firefox Messed Up [SOLVED]

I started noticing yesterday that on every once in while certain letters of large text in Firefox will fail to show up.
http://www.pasteall.org/pic/3420
You can see the glitch in the title of the website. It only seems to happen with large text sizes. Terminal fonts and such are fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Does not occur in new versions.

By too tight it means that text boxes can be expanded wider and taller than needed. So grab the lower right hand corner of each text box and drag downward and to the right a bit. Sort of giving the text room to breath. It's a technique that is often needed for HTML snippets.
Give it a try and see if it works. If so then we'll give a rousing cheer to Roddy who I got the idea from originally. If it doesn't work this post will self delete in 10, 9, 8, ......

Is there any way to disable the setting (?) in version 28.0 that blocks the exchange of text between Firefox and other software?

Since version 28.0 of Mozilla Firefox, our word prediction software Skippy can no longer interact with Mozilla. It seems like additional security measures were taken to disallow software from picking up what is being typed and sending new text to Firefox. Is there any way to circumvent this or is there an advanced option that can disable this functionality? Or could there be any other cause?
Thank you

Have you done any "standard" troubleshooting in Firefox? 
Like maybe tried the Firefox SafeMode? 
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
Have you contacted Key Technologies about that incompatibility?

Cannot type text in any text box Firefox will handapp

I have a laptop running windows 7 64bit. I am not able to type in any browser text boxes. I have tried safe mode in Firefox and that does not help. I have deleted the firefox profiles and completely removed firefox. I just did another install of firefox ver 25.0.1. I have now problems using the mouse, but as soon as I try to type in a field the program will freeze and I will get the error box asking if I want to close the program look for a solution and close program or wait it out. If I look at the problem details it says, A problem caused this program to stop interacting with windows.

Also in IE10 I have basically the same issues. If I do go through the system tools and load Internet Exployer with no addins I am able to go to the URL box and type in www.bing.com and hit enter and it will go to that page but once there I can not again type in any text box. Add shortly later IE just goes away like in a crash.

Some have reported that pressing F9+Windows one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working.

I have blurry, faded text in Firefox 4 (but not FF 3 or Chrome)

[http://img405.imageshack.us/i/firefox4text.png/ http://img405.imageshack.us/i/firefox4text.png/]
Here is an example from Youtube. Ever since I upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 4, my text is blurry and thin and hard to read, it looks terrible. This also happens in IE ever since I upgraded to IE9, but I don't care since I rarely ever use IE.
Out of desparation I installed Chrome just so I could browse without struggling to read text, and the text is clear and perfect there.
Can someone please help me get a usable installation of Firefox again? I love the addons and features of Firefox, but not if I can't READ when I'm using it...

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

New web designer - too much space over CSS-styled text in Firefox

Hi all:
This is my first post to the forum. I've been a Dreamweaver 8
user for a few weeks and think it's cool, though I have run into
some problems. Here's my latest: I've defined a style for my
headers in my main external CSS with the follow code:
.body_header_1 {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 30px;
font-weight: bolder;
color: #31009C;
font-style: italic;
padding-top: 7px;
padding-right: 7px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-left: 7px;
height: 40px;
I'm using this to insert text at the top of a cell in a
nested table as a header. When displayed in Iexplore, this page is
fine. However, if loaded into Firefox I get an undesirable extra
whitespace over the text. I've tried everything I can think of to
get rid of it but no dice. Is there some parameter I'm setting
wrong? Maybe something to do with the nested table? Thanks in
advance. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

> font-weight: bolder;
Although this seems like it should work, it rarely does.
Normal and bold
are the only ones that are reliable.
Can you show me the HTML where this is used?

Enabling hardware acceleration distorts website text in firefox 6

When using Aurora ver. 6.0a2 (2011-05-29) I have to disable hardware acceleration. When this setting is enabled, everything visible with the program (this includes the entire GUI, websites, all text & images) is distorted. It's not that you can't see the images or read the text at all, it just appears to not be rendered correctly. When acceleration is disabled, everything is returned to it's optimal viewability (for lack of a better term).
My current relevent system specs are:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (with all updates applied)
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6950
Video Card Driver: Catalyst ver. 11.5
Firefox Version: Aurora ver. 6.0a2 (2011-05-29)
Also of note, when using the official Firefox release (ver. 4.0.1), I do not have this problem. If you need any more information, I will be happy to provide it.

I have this problem with yahoo mail and Firefox 6 (no such problem with Firefox 5.0.1 and below). No other websites show this issue. When I disable hardware acceleration yahoo mail renders fine but with hardware acceleration it looks washed out in parts and patches.
System specs:
My current relevent system specs are:
Windows 7 Professional x86 (with all updates applied) Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 3870 Video Card Driver: Catalyst ver. 11.7 and 11.8

Cannot enter email text in firefox android hotmail

i cannot write text in hotmail using firefox for android latest

Hi glennh,
You can delete the account from this link [about:accounts].
However you will need to create a new account with the email with no space in front in order to receive a verification email.
This is expected. At this time you cannot edit the account name after it has been created.

Disable alt text in firefox

is there a way to disable alt text to appear when an image is loading in firefox ? i hate it when my connection is slower to see the text before the image

Hello 100k, this options does not exist, why do not try to make a little faster the image loading ?
go to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] find the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.pipelining network.http.pipelining] and '''double-click on it''' to make it '''true'''.
then, always in about:config, find [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.pipelining.maxrequests network.http.pipelining.maxrequests] and '''right-click on it''', select '''modify''' and put '''8''' as a value and click '''OK'''.
thank you
