Websites are formatted incorrectly and links won't work, since last update

Since I installed the latest updates for firefox certain websites such as : http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ and hotmail , are incorrectly formatted and the links on the pages don't work. I can load my inbox on hotmail but the links to the emails don't work ie. you click on it and nothing happens. On the Escapist many of the links don't match the boxes they should be in, sections of the page are in the wrong place with images not loading, and many of the links don't load the right page, if anything at all.
I've tried to use the report broken website function but this gets stuck on sending report and if you click submit report again it shows the details etc as being blank.
I've tried restoring FF to defaults and also reinstalling it with no success. I know the website are okay as IE loads them correctly.
any help appreciated

Hi Rick,
Interesting thread on Quark's forums. Mark Douma posts here, too. Very knowledgeable with the how fonts work in direct relation to the OS.
I just opened a bunch of OpenType fonts and launched Quark. No problems. But as Mark noted, you'll see the bug pop up after a restart and then try to open the document that uses the OpenType fonts.
However, I created a simple document using a half dozen different OpenType fonts and saved it to the desktop. Going by Mark's assumption about the cache files, I shut down my Mac and turned it back on. Essentially the same as turning it on the next day. Per his thoughts, I left the font cache files alone, activated the fonts again in Suitcase Fusion and launched Quark 6.52 by double clicking the document I had just created. Quark and the document opened without a hitch.
Per Mark's post at Quark's forums, Quark should have crashed since I'm doing this all under 10.4.10. That tells me that while the font cache files are the problem for those who need to keep clearing the cache files to get OpenType fonts to work each day, it's not due to OS 10.4.6+. Since I'm having no issues (and never have), I would have to believe it's more likely to be a damaged OS that's causing the problems. If the OS is damaged, then the likelihood that it will in turn write damaged cache files is high.
Or, Quark is damaged. It writes its own font cache files in the /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/ folder. If you cleared only those cache files out and relaunched Quark, it might work without clearing the system cache files. That would tell you for sure that Quark needs to be reinstalled rather than the OS.

  • Movies and videos won't play since last update

    since the recent update to itunes, my tv shows and movies will not play.  as soon as a movie is selected to play, I get this popup with itunes has stopped working-checking for a solution-blahblahblah-closing program.  Itunes is exited.  have done the quicktime preferences uncheck 3D, have done the safe mode, have done the uninstall and reinstall itunes.  nothing works.  now, the unchecking 3D will allow the movie to play but at choppy audio and video, not enjoyable at all.  i'm using my desktop for this (windows vista64 bit).  Apple will allow not phone support for itunes and got the usual "oh, we're not aware of this problem", yet google it and you see it's pretty common.  before the recent update (sep 2012), itunes worked fine.   help please.

  • Wlan won´t work since last update

    Hi since my last pacman -Syu i can´t use my Wlan. It loads the modul without any errors. But when i drop the "Wlan-button" my computer freezes!!!
    I also changed from devfs to udev!
    Any Ideas??

    Nov 10 2004  Changes in 0.13
        * Modified SW/HW rf_kill interaction functionality. See README.ipw2200 for details on current usage.
        * Fixed #239: iwconfig eth1 rts off/auto not supported
        * Fixed problem with not being able to associate with non-broadcast ESSID APs
        * Changed default temporal timeout for scan age to 15s
        * Changed MAC2STR and MACSTR to MAC_FMT and MAC_ARG
        * Fixed problem with scan results not expiring
        * Fixed a bug in ad-hoc support (#295) that prevented the creation of a new ad-hoc network
        * Reduced interval of scan requests to 1/10th second (vs. 5 seconds)
        * Modified scan logic to alternate between directed and active scanning when an ESSID is defined. This should improve AP to AP roaming via ESSID selection.
        * Increased dwell time on directed scans to 100ms from 20ms
        * Fixed fragmentation for both wep and with no encryption
        * Fixed wireless stats reporting to indicate that the noise level is invalid. This version of the firmware does not provide noise statistics.

  • IPhoto won't open since last update V9.5.1

    My iPhoto won't open since the latest update (V9.5.1) was installed.  I do not get any error message, the icon bounces a couple times and then nothing happens.  I've tried the following solutions found in other forums:
    -Using "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild library and repair iPhoto, did not work because "iPhoto failed to open"
    -Removing the file iPhotoLock.data from Finder>Pictures>Right Click iPhoto Library>Show Package Contents, this also did nothing.
    I can't find any other solution and I'm worried that I may lose my pictures (over 20GB of pics).
    Is someone else having similar issues?

    You don't always have a good current backup?  Without one you are 100% guarenteed to lose everything including your photos sooner or later - things do fail - Time Machine is included on yur Mac - use it - you eed a large external hard drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - once set up it is automatic and will save you when things go South
    For now all you need is a copy of the iPhoto library
    I stated in my original message that I have the most current version of iPhoto, iPhoto '11 V9.5.1.  Is there a way to reverse the update because I had no problems with it until the update was done automatically.
    Yes - but since things are not wroking ti is important to verify facts - not work on assumptions
    No - you can not "undo the update" easily but you can fix things

  • [SOLVED] lxdm autologin won't work since last upgrade

    Hi,
    Since last upgrade, lxdm won't autologin anymore.
    I had a lxdm.conf.pacnew file wich added only a commented line that I added into the conf file, wich does look like this :
    [base]
    ## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
    #autologin=dgod
    autologin=Olaff
    ## uncomment and set timeout to enable timeout autologin,
    ## the value should >=5
    # timeout=10
    ## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
    session=/usr/bin/startlxde
    #session=/usr/bin/openbox-session
    ## uncomment and set to set numlock on your keyboard
    # numlock=0
    ## set this if you don't want to put xauth file at ~/.Xauthority
    # xauth_path=/tmp
    # not ask password for users who have empty password
    # skip_password=1
    ## greeter used to welcome the user
    greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk
    [server]
    ## arg used to start xserver, not fully function
    arg=/usr/bin/X -background vt1
    # uncomment this if you really want xserver listen to tcp
    # tcp_listen=1
    # uncoment this if you want reset the xserver after logou
    # reset=1
    [display]
    ## gtk theme used by greeter
    gtk_theme=Clearlooks
    ## background of the greeter
    # bg=/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png
    ## if show bottom pane
    bottom_pane=1
    ## if show language select control
    lang=1
    ## if show keyboard layout select control
    keyboard=0
    ## the theme of greeter
    theme=Industrial
    [input]
    [userlist]
    ## if disable the user list control at greeter
    disable=0
    ## whitelist user
    white=
    ## blacklist user
    black=
    Since there were no uncommented lines added, I assumed it would make no difference.
    Edit :
    Now, the system goes to the login screen instead of autologin.
    lxdm brings me to my session if I log in however.

    Not sure why OlaffTheGreat uses LXDM, but I use it because you get it for free as part of the LXDE group, and I'm too lazy to change it.  My security is the 30 to 40 character passphrase I need to unlock my encrypted drives.  Then having to type in an 8 character easily guessed user password is beyond annoying.
    I just checked my pacman cache files and it looks like the upgrade to 0.4-1-25 is when I first got the error (currently listed as 9 days ago which would be about right).  I upgraded, booted and got the login screen that I was not supposed to.  I had just merged the pacnew file so it was fresh in my head and made the changes I described.  Booted again and got the autologin and I didn't think another thing about it until I saw this post earlier today.  Upgraded again this weekend to 0.4-1-27 with no problems.

  • Feedback, please. How are these overviews and links to resources working for you?

    I've been working lately on providing concise introductory sections in After Effects Help that each give an overview of a topic, provide some related tips, and then give a bunch of useful links to more detailed information.
    I'd like to get some feedback on how these sections are working.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2009/09/feedback-please-how-are-these.html
    If, as I hope, these overviews and collections of tips and resources are helpful, then I'll do more of this kind of thing.

    Hi Todd,
    Thank you for all that you have contributed to this board, and beyond. I have looked at, and used some of your resources, and found them to be very helpful. In my particular case, I learn much better through video tutorials, especially ones that include the project file and elements that are used in the tutorial. I'm glad to see you include links to other peoples work, but with your wealth of knowledge and talent, I would like to see you make your own series of video tutorials. I think you could do as good or better than anyone out there at this point. I hope you will at least give it some consideration. Thanks again for all that you do, keep up the good work.

  • Need serious help. Time is incorrect and bluetooth won't work

    I have iPhone 5c and the time is not right. The bluetooth won't connect or even appear. Problem started about 6 weeks ago when I did the update to ios8. I've read as much as I can about the problem. I've did every reset possible and nothing works.
    I'm one month past the year warranty. Conveniently. I'm about 40 mins from the nearest Apple store.
    Is there a solution or do I need to prepare for this to be junked and go to a Samsung?

    Hi Ejjones55,
    It sounds quite distressful that your iPhone will not keep proper time and the Bluetooth module does not appear to be functioning correctly. I am going to try to get you back on track so you can use your iPhone as it is intended.
    Since you have already reset (restarted) your iPhone, the next step would be to back up any data that you have on it and restore as a new device. See this article for how -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Hello Immunetoall,
    What video links?
    Are they stored locally on the computer or are you visiting a website?
    What browser do you use?
    Where do these videos link to? (e.g. youtube)
    What happens when you click on a video link? Saying "it doesn't work" doesn't really tell me what you are seeing to be able to accurately understand your issue.
