Webhelp display in Firefox does not use stylesheet.

I have created a Webhelp system using Robohelp, single-sourced from FrameMaker.
I have a custom stylesheet (CSS) file that I am deploying with the Webhelp.
On IE and Chrome, the stylesheet is used.
On Firefox, it is not.
Does anyone know why this might occur?
Thanks

All topics are affected in the same way. In Firefox, it looks like the default HTML styles are applied.
I'm not sure what source you are looking for in particular, but I've done a view source copy/pasted from both browsers. (I don't see an obvious difference) Is this what you need?
I noted the extra line above the <HTML> tag and thought that Firefox might be choking on it, but I deleted that blank line and reloaded, but got the same results.

Despite the newest Flip4Mac plugin being installed and Firefox recognizing it, and it is selected to play wmv files, Firefox does not use it.

What else do I need to say?
Despite the newest Flip4Mac plugin being installed and Firefox recognizing it, and it is selected to play wmv files, Firefox does not use it.
Firefox also did NOT import all my settings from Safari, despite being asked to.

Java tries to load it's console. I load it Firefox does not use it and alerts to restart.

Firefox tries to start. I get a window that the selected website cannot be found. Then update window pops up showing various versions of JAVA needs to be loaded. I allow them to be loaded. When Firefox then starts after loading JAVA Consoles window pops up and says JAVA is not used by firefox and prompts to restart firefox deleting JAVA. This goes on constantly

You can delete old versions of Java Consoles:<br/>

Firefox does not use the options I select.

I opened the options window and selected for Firefox to open links in a new tab. It did so at one time but doesn't now. I also selected to open tabs last used on startup.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Preferences are not saved#w_user-js-file-overriding-preferences|'''User.js''' file overriding preferences]]
* DELETE ALL LINES in '''"user.js"''' file
Check and tell if its working.

Firefox does not use cache on first load and reload

My webserver has a lot of images which will never change. So, I set Expires month forward in such cases:
Expires: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:01:25 GMT
Cache-control: public
Enough for IE 9, my server is not disturbed.
But for FF8 and FF9 in following two scenarios my settings are ignored:
1) Close browser. Open browser, look at about:cache - all my files are on place. Open my page - server receives requests for all cached files. And nothing in request allowing server to detect that cache exists.
2) Press Reload button or F5. Again all cached files required. But now requests have
Cache-Control: max-age=0
So, server has some idea about situation and probably can respond with 304.
Only 3) works as I proposed: after 1), open page once more - in the same or another tab. In this case, server receives only requests for files with restricted caching.
Current workaround: I add Last-Modified to response. In this case, I receive If-Modified-Since and can respond with 304. But I have hundreds of small images, so bandwidth for 304 is almost same as for 200 with complete file.
Browser cache settings - all defaults. I use numeric server addresses in current test environment like http://192.168.47.130:27374
I experimented with different modifications of Cache-Control response - without success.
And additional question - how can I make a line break in this editor? If I make a line break and empty line, I get line break and empty line. But if I make a simple line break, I get nothing in resulting text.

Thank you, knorretje. Had no problems with logging on 2003. Lot of lines, but I propose that critical part<br>

As I understand, all partial checks say that cache is good. But ending doValidation=1, probably, means that request will be sent. Do not see any reason.

Firefox does not display the basic menu line File Edit View etc. How do I get this menu to show. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that does not help

When I ask for help finding bookmarks, the answer tells me to click on bookmarks as shown in the illustration, but there is no such line displayed on my computer.

Mozilla firefox does not display Notepad++ web programming

mozilla firefox does not display notepad++ programming of web page and does not connect css files. Currntly programs using CSS + html5.

Could you check in the lower right corner of Notepad++ what character encoding is being used for your documents. (See screen shot attached.) Some encodings, particularly UTF-16 encodings, have caused other users problems with external content not loading. It is best to use the same encoding for all of your pages, style sheets, scripts, etc.

Newest firefox does not display aspects of simple html web site correctly

Newest Firefox does not display certain web pages correctly whereas Safari does- previous versions of Firefox worked fine.
The web pages are simple html using bumpers to position photos. Several of these pages allow "see through" in these bumper areas of prior page. It appears that Firefox is not releasing its memory of the prior page. Each of these pages is a specific address and should be loaded as a separate solo page. Please look at html pages 10 and 14 of this site. It seems that the code for these bumpers is not being honored and the persistent memory of the prior page is being intermixed. I cleared the cache and reinstalled Firefox with no change in problem.
Please help.
My business is struggling...

Hello - thanks for your response!
I reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1 - still have the problem.
Cache was cleared.
I tried restarting in safe mode also with no change.
I reinstalled Firefox 6.0.1 - works fine.
I have attached a screen shot showing the problem on 1 of the pages.
These are simple html pages that use .gif bumpers to help position the photos in some cases but not on all of the site pages. The sample screen shot shows the compound problem - the code for the gif bumpers is not being honored and part of the image from the prior page is showing through - the prior page is not being fully released. Each page is a separate entity with a separate address, so when the new page loads there should be no evidence or visibility of the prior one.
This simple bit of website building should be working on this browser, on this Mac with this OS. Safari works. Firefox 6 works.
Sample problem pages are 10 and 14.
Site is http://www.robertbellphoto.com
Thank you so much!

I am trying to use a website that requires that my computer have the latest version of Java, which I have updated and installed Java 7 Update 51 (64-bit), however Firefox does not recognize that I even have Java on my computer. My computer is 64-bit
When I run "Verify Java Version" it show nothing is installed... but it is, I know that for a fact because it shows in my "Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features".
When I go back to the Java Download page, the following message is visible:
"We have detected you may be viewing this page in a 32-bit browser. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers."
My question is this:
Is there a way to change my Firefox browser from 32-bit to 64-bit.... because it appears that this is way Java is not functioning properly?

Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

Firefox does not print. I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING PROBLEMS ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Firefox does not print. Mozilla doesn't seem to care to fix this problem, ignoring the numerous customer requests and pleadings for help. At this point, I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I honestly think the OP is making the correct decision to quit using Firefox due to all the print-related problems and Bugs that are in Firefox, '''that Mozilla doesn't want to fix'''. And there are more Bugs that affect only the Mac-platform (like the one where the user has to open a page in a new window for the 2nd web page printed from that window), than there are on Windows and Linux.
Users having to reset hidden preferences repeatedly isn't a cure.
The same 3 print-related Bugs in 2002 that caused me to take 6 months to switch over to ''Phoenix'' from IE 5.5, '''are still present in Firefox!''' I print nothing from Firefox these days without viewing Print Preview first, then about 10% of the time I do a "View in Opera" and do a Print Preview there - which shows a good print out 95% of the time (which IMO shows the page isn't at fault), and print it from Opera.

Using Firefox 3.6.20 and Windows XP Home SP3. Firefox sporatically deletes bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar. Additionally, when I try to import from a saved HTML file, Firefox does not import the complete file. Results are inconsistent.

Using Firefox 3.6.20 and Windows XP Home SP3. Firefox sporatically deletes bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar. Additionally, when I try to import from a saved HTML file, Firefox does not import the complete file. Results are inconsistent.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Firefox does not display Mapquest maps correctly

Mapquest maps display with a vertical bar that is roughly 25% of the width of the map screen that shows as loading (gray color that never loads) or a different part of the map overlayed on this 25%. The location of the 25% is at different locations (vertically) and moves randomly left to right or whenever the zoom is changed. This also occurs when the street map is presented or the aerial map is displayed.
This does not occur when the same map is displayed in Internet Explorer 8.0.

Cleared the cache and cookies several times and nada.
Started Firefox in Safe Mode (Quit Firefox, hold down the Option key, Start Firefox). Clicked all the boxes and then clicked "Make Changes and Restart." Fixed the problem. Then repeated process until I successfully had unclicked all the boxes (one at a time) and clicked "Make Changes and Restart." Somehow it stayed fixed. I enabled my extensions and plugins one at a time to find the culprit and didn't find one. But at least it works.

Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly from a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_ca or fr_fr. However, it does it correctly when my browser language setting is fr. How do i get it to display e with acute accent and other iso8859 characters correctly in a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_fr and fr_ca?

Use Unicode (UTF-8) for those characters.
Then you will always be sure that they are displayed correctly.

The timekeeping system we use does not like HTML 5 so what is the latest version of Firefox that does not use HTML 5?

We have been told by our timekeeping system provider that the latest versions of FireFox, Chrome and IE are not compatible with their websites at this time. I was told that it was because of the use of HTML 5 by the more recent versions of these web browsers. I need to download the most recent version of FireFox that does not use HTML 5. Can anyone tell me which version this would be?

It isn't "Timesheet Next Generation", is it? We had a thread on that here: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961306 Websites using php and mysql stopped sorting drop down lists properly starting last week. Did something change?]
Unfortunately, HTML5 is a large specification with a lot of parts that has been implemented in pieces over the course of several years. It would be really helpful if your vendor could indicate what EXACTLY is not compatible and then it could be researched. Otherwise, you'd have to use trial and error. Either way, you would end up with an older browser that isn't safe to run on the internet. It could be time to consider other vendors...
