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.

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, ......

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • How do I prevent Firefox from locking up when I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu (resetting Firefox didn't solve the problem)?

    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium OS on Dell XPS 420 system. Firefox locks up each time I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu. Resetting Firefox did NOT solve the problem. If, instead of using Firefox, I log on to a website using Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, the "Save As" feature works fine, as it should. I would occasionally like to save a web page, using "Save As" while using Firefox, instead of copying the page to a Word Document, and then saving it.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • 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: <b>View/Beeld > Zoom > Reset</b> (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!

  • 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? <br />
    Like maybe tried the Firefox SafeMode? <br />
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
    Have you contacted Key Technologies about that incompatibility? <br />

  • Each time the firefox will make com hangs awhile when ply a sound, after close firefox the problem solved.

    When Firefox opened, and the system ply a sound, the com will hang awhile, but after I close Firefox, the problem solved itself, if I disable all plugins, the problem solved, can help check which plugins will cause this problem or this is Firefox problem???
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == ply a sound

    I changed the setting, but unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. This situation does seem to occur more, when I load or reload my eBay home page. I noticed that all data and information would go ahead and load, but the random ads bar would not immediately load and when I would left click anywhere on the page, Firefox would temporarily freeze, the page turns white, Firefox not responding will display, and then the banner would load and everything is fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Flash Player. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Reggie

  • [SOLVED] Firefox messes up ligatures when displaying Calibri font

    Hi,
    This problem has been bothering me for a while and I can't figure out what's wrong.
    To ilustrate this, here are a few quotes from Coding Horror, one affected site:
    It's difficult to fix without making major changes to the web's infrastructure.
    For example, I just noticed that Twitter, transparently to me and presumably all other Twitter users [...]
    [...] such as swiping left or right with four fingers to switch between apps.
    In bold are the charecters that stand out (and I mean it) when reding the text. I dare not post a screenshot, for I believe this may kill your soul as it has been slowly killing mine.
    So far, Calibri is the only font that I found that shows this behaviour, and it's not in all programs. Some affected programs are Firefox and Thunderbird. In LibreOffice, for example, it shows normaly.
    I do not remember having done any font configuration in my system, but I'm not sure where I should check...
    Thanks for your help!

    There are nice patches for freetype2 that can make fonts look much better (even those tricky ones, like Calibri). In order to do so, you may want to replace some of your packages:
    * freetype2 with freetype2-infinality,
    * fontconfig with fontconfig-infinality,
    * libxft with libxft-cleartype,
    * cairo with cairo-ubuntu.
    They should significantly improve the rendering of your fonts. Of course, you can always check other versions of the packages in the AUR: I assume that the above combination should be safe in most cases, and the final result satisfactory for the user.
    Edit 1: It's worth reading the Wiki article on font configuration to get the idea what and how can be tweaked.
    Edit 2: And here comes a screenshot:

  • Firefox messed up fom data!

    After updating to Firefox 23, a couple of days later I noticed, that Firefox starts to messed up my saved form data. I need this feature for my daily work, so that I do not have to enter the same texts in the same fields every day (that is for what this feature is for). However, Firefox 23 messed up everything - First I noticed doubled entries for the same word, so by clicking the field it shows me "soup" twice. After I deleted one of those duplicated entries, another entry was gone. For example "dried soup". When I then entered "dried soup" again to be saved, Firefox 23 did not save it - so I deleted many of my saved form data and cannot save it again!!
    After switching back to FF 22 the problem is solved for now, but I cannot update until this major issue is fixed!

    Thank you. I will try FF24 when it is released. For the meantime I will keep using FF22.

  • 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.

  • Rich Text Editor & FireFox

    Hello,
    I get the integration of fckeditor instead of the Oracle component done.
    I'm happy with it and my users too, except those with firefox, because they got the standart TextArea.
    It seems that if the browser is not IE the pages launchEmbedded is not used and my integration is done there.
    It's a way to tell portal do not check the browser version ?
    If you're interested in the FckEditor Integration send me an email. [email protected]

    Now it was released, it works on Firefox (except for the tooltips, that never worked and is a mess), but now the html text editor doesn't works at IE 6. At least on my company's win2k with IE 6.0.2800.1106.
    When opening a text to edit, it screams (something like that, mine is portuguese):
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Line: 2054
    Character: 13
    Error: Permission Denied
    Code: 0
    URL: http://myhost:7778/images/webword/buildUIHTML.html
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    What do I say to my users???
    Oh, I almost forgot, the javascript error is not the real trouble, I could live with it. If it does not disable the Ok and the Aplly buttons. I simply cannot save the changes I made.
