[SOLVED] Uzbl compared side by side with Firefox

Hi I'm new to the forum and to Uzbl web browser.
I compared side by side Firefox and Uzbl, and I've a problem: sometimes the same page looks bad in Uzbl, that's because text often overlaps or overruns other parts of the page.
I noticed that Uzbl uses different fonts, and it seems to ignore that I installed ttf-liberation fonts...
Moreover fonts seems a little bit more blurred than firefox.
I really like this browser... is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks!

I am a web developer by trade and the way that browsers render is the bane of my existence. I don't know uzbl but see if it has the ability for user mods of the web page look a number of modern browsers do. If you look around there may also be a plugin for it for that browser. Browsers have default style sheets and if they don't allow the alteration you might be stuck, they pick the default fonts then you have the other problem in that web developers pick fonts normally by a css attribute called a font-family in that they put a list that the browser checks for fonts that it supports or has available. If the browser one doesn't support that font it goes down the developers list until one or none is found, if it finds one it uses it, if not it uses it's own default font. The other thing is maybe the developer didn't include any Linux friendly fonts. Liberation might no be in the list or the browser might not support the ones that are there. The point is that you may have to look around but accept you may not find a perfect solution. Web developers have been fighting that one from the beginning.
Hope that helps at least ti understand what's going on.

ALL flash videos looks pixelated, win 7 or 8.1, ONLY with firefox

Latest firefox version, latest adobe flash player.. Had cleaned cache and preferences of both Firefox and Flash Player.. two different machines with different hardwares and SOs, no luck!
With Google Chrome all videos are ok. It's like the difference in this two images: http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/computer-chip-super-resolution-640x353.jpg
Firefox's WEB images are GREAT but all videos looks pixelated as the left picture.. had compared the same video with Firefox and Chrome opened side-by-side.. :\

Hardware acceleration ON of OFF didn't make any difference.. honestly I never saw anyone saying they see any difference switching it..
Of course with a higher resolution (720 or 1080p) there's less pixelation, but with other browsers there ain't such issue..

Firefox 3.6.6 doesn't display text correctly (looks like draft mode) in web pages (I have compared it sidse by side with IE8)

Using Firefox 3.6.6 text displays on the screen looking like a draft mode print, or like it was printed with a dot matrix printer. I have compared it to IE8, which displays much better. I was thinking it was a display setting until I compared it to IE8. I have looked thru all the settings in Firefox I can find, but no improvement. Also thought it might be my new (second hand) monitor until I did the side by side comparison with IE8.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Got new computer and updated to Firefox 3.6.6

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

In iGoogle with firefox 4 I am unable to get the tabs to change down the left hand side or get any response to selections made to items like calender or weather this does not happen in Explorer 9.

After loading FireFox 4 all worked OK for a while. Now when trying to change the tabs on left hand side (Home etc) or change selections on the apps (Weather or Calender) nothing happens. I am running iGoogle with FireFox 4 but this does not happen when trying the same thing with Explorer 9.

Having the same problem, but not only can't change tabs, but cannot open links on the page. I thought that by reducing my iGoogle page to one tab, and putting what content I could into app tabs that would solve most of the problems. It did some. For a while I was able to bypass this with the iGoogle Tab Remover add-on but it stopped working last night and I've not been able to get it working since.

The up down arrows on the side of my Hotmail email list do not function, nor does clicking the space above and below the slider bar. These functions work in all other cases. It began with Firefox 3.6 upgrade. Firefox version: 3.6 Operating system: Windows

When NOT using icons on the toolbar, side-bar drop-down for additional toolbar items has disappeared with Firefox 4 and accessing these items requires clicking 'Bookmarks', then 'Show all bookmarks' then 'Toolbar'--ugh, what a pain.

On older versions of Firefox, Toolbar links ran across the top of my screen, with a drop-down to the far right which would show additional Toolbar items for which there was not room on the screen.
With Firefox 4, if I'm not using icons (text only), the dedicated Toolbar drop-down is gone and I have to first click 'Bookmarks' to the right of the Toolbar ribbon, then 'Show All Bookmarks', then 'Toolbar' in order to access my additional Toolbar links. Could anyone have made it any harder?
Why doesn't someone just restore the drop-down at the far right of the Toolbar so that all of my Toolbar items (which I prefer to keep separately from the regular Bookmark items, else I would have just plain bookmarked those items in the first place) are readily accessible?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar). 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

Why is Firefox involved in taking sides with Google Earth's dumping of the website Climate Viewer News?

I like researching and I have sites that credible although the gov't may not like the data these sites collect for public awareness. Climate Viewer News relies on Google Earth and now this site can no longer do the work they've always done in getting the truth out there to the public... And Google Earth is bought and paid for and controlled by Gov't agencies in preventing those sites who value the citizens constitutional right to know what our leaders and others in power are doing to not only humans, but to this planet and more. I thought Mozilla Firefox's goal was to provide internet browsing privace and security to the public without interference from those control freaks who have the money and power to control it all. Where's the freedom? What about integrity and ethics? By submitting an opinion that is against Firefox leaves me wide open for attack...But I have always supported Firefox and the other programs from Mozilla and now this at CV News website "....“Mozilla is not interested in or working on Pepper at this time.” May 2011..." It saddens me greatly to see the good guys being bought and paid for. I have many friends who are Open Source and maybe they should hear about this issue: https://climateviewer.com/2014/12/28/death-google-earth-climate-viewer-3d/

We do not discuss development issues of decisions on this forum. It is for support of Firefox endusers, and mainly answers are from fellow Firefox users. Mozilla developers do not (or only <s>unyieldingly</s>!! ''exceedingly'' rarely) post here.
Of course we are not trying to be obstructive so links to where this is discussed,or to relevant information is ok.
Just some brief comments on the background.
* FlashPlayer Let's for starters point out that FlashPlayer is proprietary closed source software, and Adobe's FlashPlayer does not even support all the Operating Systems Firefox does. For instance newer versions of Android are not supported, and Linux is only getting critical security updates with that due to cease soon.
*Pepper Is a Google project, it effectively builds FlashPlayer into the Chrome browser. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Native_Client#Pepper
* HTML5 There are many HTML5 projects & features supported or in development for Firefox and that is probably the way forward.
I am not sure which forum is the best for you to try to engage with Firefox developers but see these
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/forums/
*'''Please read''' this https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/forums/etiquette/ And note I am not aware which forum this subject would be best discussed in. I suggest you politely ask that when you make an initial post.

How to view one photo with one XMP based adjustment side by side with another XMP version?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a simple way of quickly and easily comparing side by side the same photo that may have different adjustments made to it.
I do some freelance work where in one job I receive up to 800 images to edit. After my work is complete I send the XMP files back to my boss. He may or may not further tweak them for correctness. He then sends these files to the client.
I want to compare the original XMP files I sent against the final XMP files that the client receives to see what changes were made. My boss can't remember exactly which files he tweaked so I wanted to do that visually.
Is there an easy way to do this in Bridge? Can I quickly switch the adjustments from one set of XMPs to the other, or better yet, view the same image side by side with different adjustments applied to them?
Thanks!

Is there an easy way to do this in Bridge? Can I quickly switch the
adjustments from one set of XMPs to the other, or better yet, view the same
image side by side with different adjustments applied to them?
As far as I know you can't see different versions of the same file in
Bridge, I think you can do so in Aperture ;-0
The easiest way I can think of is to have two sets of files by duplicating
the current series you have tweaked. The duplicates have copy in the
filename but will stay in the correct order when having file name selected.
The duplicates stay as you have them tweaked, the originals will be modified
with new XMP as you get them back.
Choose sort by modification date to select the files with modified xmp data
and color label those. Again choose all the content with sort for filename
and you can easily see the color labels next to the original duplicates.
Select both one modified and one original and view them next to each other
in the preview window.
Maybe others have a better method?

[Solved] Cannot browse youtube with firefox?

I noticed this last night, and it is still not working this morning (could very well be something that was changed on youtube's side of things that isn't compatible with Firefox, since it works with Chrome). Anyway, if I'm watching a video on youtube, and I click another video from the suggested videos / sidebar the page will load (within youtube's frame — red progress bar along the top of the page, and the title / comments will change), however, the previous video will still be playing and the new one will not load until I refresh the page.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is it a new youtube "feature" or is some configuration incorrect on my side of things? Thanks.

How are people supposed to narrow down your problem without sitting in front of your screen?
It's not like they can see what plugins and extensions you have installed and so on.
You'll either have to provide those or you'll have to work alone.
hahaha I have no idea, I've tried disabling adobe-flash from within firefox, but not removing it from my system. But then I just get the "you don't have flash installed" error. I've also tried disabling my adblocker, but I really don't have many FF extensions installed. I have to run to class in a few minutes, so I'm hoping someone else has had this issue and will come along.

Firefox crashes when opening any Adobe pdf document from internet. This only seems to happens with firefox 6.0.2. Pls assist how to solve problem

Good day,
Please note Firefox is crashing every time I tried to open a pdf document I find in any internet webside. This is happening since I have installed Firefox 6.0.2. I temporarily solved the issue going back to Firefox 5. The problem is that my Mac installs automatically all the updates that might come from Firefox, including new or greater versions.... So, here I am again with Firefox 6.0.2 and not able to open Adobe pdf documents.....
Would you please kindly assist to fix this issue...? Please note I have systematically sent a report every time Firefox has crashed, so you might have quite a few by now!
Many thanks in advance for all your help and assistance.
Francesca.

How to configure Click-to-Run version of Outlook 2013 to run side-by-side with Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010

Hi, I am administering a cutover from Office Pro 2010 to Office Pro 2013 via our Office 365 E3 licenses. Before I start migrating mailboxes from our Exchange 2003 server to Exchange Online, I want to have our staff install Office Pro 2013 including Outlook
2013 so they can have time to review it before we switch to the Exchange Online server in a couple of days. I know Outlook 2013 is not compatible with our Exchange 2003 server but I was hoping to be able to setup Outlook 2013 to connect to my Office 365 email
address while keeping my msi installed version of Outlook 2010 for my Exchange 2003 email address.
I am trying to test the capability of Outlook 2013 running side-by-side with my Outlook 2010 program. I have the "Click-to-Run" version installed on my Windows 7 64-bit machine however when I try to open Outlook 2013, I get an error message: "Another
version of Outlook is currently running. Close it and try again."
In reading in TechNet and other sources, it clearly states that both programs can run simultaneously which is what I need to do
but obviously something is not configured correctly.
Can you please help me get this configuration running or let me know if it is in fact not possible?
Thanks!
Frank

Yes, it should be able to install side by side.
The versions of Office that you install must be the same edition. For example, both installations of Office are the 32-bit edition.
When you get the error
"Another version of Outlook is currently running. Close it and try again.", go to task manager and end all existing
outlook process.
If the issue persists, do a repair for your Office suites in Control panel>Program and features>Office>Change>Repair
Thanks,
Tyor Wang

My iphone 4s screen turned freaked out before my eyes, changing all different colours, now it is blue and black along the right side with horizontal lines, and is flickering. I DIDN'T DROP IT.

I was just sitting on the couch scrolling through facebook, I closed out of that and went to open safari, when it spazzed out, for a few mintutes it looked like LSD vision, it was all different colours and flickering the whole time. I turned it off and on again, and plugged it into my computer and now the right side is nearly completely blue, and bleeds to the left side with horizontal lines, and it is still flickering. I just finished paying the **** thing off. I thought I'd get another year out of it. I have taken exemplary care of it and it hasn't left the case since the day I bought it. I haven't dropped it, there was no warning for the screen to start doing this. So my question is, is there an easy fix (I am about to restore and update it, and I already played around with the screen brightness), and if not, am I going to have to pay for the screen to be replaced, because I don't have that kind money.

Probably sounded funnier in your head.
