Torch - Browser Questions: Formatting and Passwords for websites

Question

I had a Curve 8300 for 3 years and just got the Torch a week ago.
1.  I often have trouble getting websites to format to the screen.  Usually (but not always), if I click the trackpad while the magnifying glass is on the website, it will work.  Again, usually - but not always.  Is there a way that I can consistently get websites to format to the screen?  What is the easiest way to do that?
2.  I have a message board that I frequently read and post on.  I can't seem to do it from my Torch.  Here is what happens:
-Site asks me for my login.
-I login.
-I type in my post and push the post button.
-It again asks me for my login.
-It won't even accept my whole post, just a word or two of it.
NEVER had this problem on my Curve.  Can't figure out the solution.  Is there a way to stay logged in to the site permanently?  I've never seen any prompts for it.  And anyone know why my posts aren't taking?
Thanks VERY MUCH for any help anyone can give.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).

*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
