Some web sites require you to type words presented in a strange form (Captcha?). The 'Captcha' does not always show up on my screen. How can I fix this?

I do not know how to make this any more clear. The strange, 'squiggly' words are meant to protect a web site from computerized log ins (I think). If the words are interpreted and entered correctly, you can log in successfully. But since the strangely formed words do not show up on my screen, I cannot continue the process. This does not occur all the time, on some sites the strangely formed words show up, and I can continue the process. Is this a problem with Firefox, my computer, or the web site I am trying to log into?

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images permissions.default.images

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

FF8, Win 7.... some web sites load with some items shifted off to the right or left slightly. This does not happen in IE or Chrome. How do I fix this?

I am having this problem on several websites including my iGoogle page, the home page of my nonprofit and others. Also, features like the quick add button in Google Calendar on my iGoogle page are missing or don't work.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

I am trying to access the multiple home page option in 4.01 (XP). The page at Tools/Options/General does not offer any Home Page optons. How can I do this? Thank you.

I've installed Firefox 4.01. It offer the option to have multiple pages on startup, but the direction to set this found in Firefox Help take me to a that that offers no home page setting option. In this new version in fact, I can find no place to set my home page.

You will have to contact support by web chat to figure out any such issues.

Some links do not open. When I put my cursor over it, there is no sign that you can click on it (the hand). How can I fix this?

One Korean website, the second link doesn't show any sign that you can click it. (the finger)
It works on Internet Explorer, but not firefox. How can I fix this?

That is a problem with two DIV containers with an IFRAME with Flash objects that hides the right part of the first button and the second button button.
You can just see the second button if you position the mouse between the second and third button.
Those button are positioned absolutely.
style="position: absolute; top: 112px; right: 50%;"
style="position: absolute; top: 119px; left: 50%;"

Images in my FrameMaker 10-sourced Robohelp Web Help project are turning out as blank JPEGS appearing as blank spaces in the final output. How can I fix this?

I'm attempting to create online help sourced from a FrameMaker 10 book using Robohelp 9 and Web Help (primary layout).
The text is interspersed with numeorus small icons which, in the FrameMaker documents, are .bmp images inserted into anchored frames in the lines of text.
Most of these icons were imported by reference into the FrameMaker book's chapters. Some were copied from another FrameMaker book and pasted into the present book.
Many of these images are turning out blank in the finished Help project.
Robohelp seems to convert these images into JPEGS.
In the source FrameMaker book, the images which appear OK in the Help project have Object Properties including: Facets: FrameVector JPEG ... Referenced File: No File
The images which appear blank have different object properties there: Facets: DIB ... Referenced File: (address of the image's source file)
How can I fix this and make all of the images appear in the Online Help?

Sorry, Jeff. I missed the key word in your instructions. Well, I did the import and still no luck. I'm getting the exact same results with the same images. (In some cases, I'm even getting hidden conditional text from the FM document body showing up in the image's frame instead of the image! See below.) This is bizarre behavior, but it's not new with the import. It is happening both in the linked and imported WebHelp with the same exact images. (Just another piece to complicate the puzzle.) So we have some jpeg images that are blank, and a few that are glitchy. From what I can tell, the commonality, besides the fact that all these new images are in jpeg format instead of gif format, is that all the blank and glitchy images are in a text inset. I'm beginning to think maybe RH just doesn't support text insets at all.
Arnis, I'll have to ask my colleague how she created the images next week when she's back from vacation. I have no clue if there are any differences between the jpegs and why some are showing up correctly. What do you mean by "compression type or level?" Are you asking about the resolution (high, medium, low) she chose when saving the images, or which program she used to do the screen capture and editing? (We have Adobe Photoshop CS5 and FM 11).
My next step is to copy-paste all the content from the text insets into my FM document (in the book I am linking) and re-render to see if that solves the problem. It will make single-sourcing impossible because I'll have to copy-paste the new content and images my colleague creates into my document each time we do an update, but oh well.
Here is an example of a glitchy image in RH:
And here is what it looks like in FM:
So bizarre!

Some websites display in a very basic format in Mozilla, but are fine in Explorer. This is a recent problem. How can I fix this?

Recently Mozilla is having problems displaying some websites. Previously these website displayed fine, and in Internet Explorer they still displays them fine.
For example. http://www.yr.no/ displays few graphics, and all the text is in times new roman font. The size of the font varies and things are bulleted. Links appear blue and underlined, and the rest of the text is black. The sites are now very plain and have none of their previous detail. How can I fix this?

I have Firefox 9.0.1, and a few days ago my font became Bold, I am using Times New Roman, this seems to be also the case in IE, but the Chrome is not affected, also the fonts in my Word are fine, how can I fix this problem? Thanks!

Firefox 9.0.1,
When i write in the search box on Google the font is bold and on some website it is bold also in the gmail but on other sites it is fine.
Please let me know how can I fix this.

So, you do not see any fonts bold that shouldn't be bold?
What are your current default font settings?
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size in case you need a larger font, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words. I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

Some web sites require you to type words presented in a strange form (Captcha?). The 'Captcha' does not always show up on my screen. How can I fix this?
