Why do some websites display text in Mozilla overlap ?

Using Mozilla to access : http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100808&content_id=13187930&notebook_id=13187982&vkey=notebook_sf&fext=.jsp&c_id=sf
the right side text overlaps and is not readable. However in IE, the same page displays normally. How can I get Mozilla to display all website landing pages to display one line of text per line?

Reset the page zoom on websites that look wrong: "View > Zoom > Reset" (Ctr + 0 (zero))
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages 
See [[Text Zoom]] and [[Page Zoom]] and [[Changing fonts and colors]] 
If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is none) as a too high value can cause issues like you described. 
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > Minimum Font Size 
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Why are some websites displayed with added question marks inside black diamonds

Numbers are displayed with question marks inside black triangles before and following, possibly as column separators.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I attempted to access financial websites

Can you post a link?
You can try a few different encoding settings: "View > Character Encoding" like Western ISO-8859-1 or another Western encoding or UTF-8
You can also try to switch on Auto-Detect: "View > Character Encoding > AutoDetect > Universal"
A diamond with a '?' usually indicates that a character is missing in the font that is used on a website or the wrong encoding is used.
You get the '?' on websites that use an 8 bit encoding like ISO-8859-1 or a Windows encoding like Windows-1252.
This issue can happen if content was copied from one 8 bit or Unicode encoding to another encoding.

Why are some websites, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the BNY Mellon website, denying access to users running Firefox versions newer than 3.6?

Why are some websites that are important to many people, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the Bank of New York Mellon website, not permitting access to computers running Firefox versions newer than 3.6 when Mozilla is claiming that 5.0 is more stable and secure?

That is a question for those websites to answer. Firefox 4.0 was released almost 4 months ago, IMO more than enough time for those 2 websites to verify that Firefox 4 & 5 are compliant with W3C standards.
To be able to access that FAFSA website, my advice is to install the Portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to your hard drive. It won't affect your other Firefox installation.

TS3408 why will some websites which loaded fine before now not load - when other favourites load fine, and new searches are fine? This only affects 2 websites, both of which were bookmarked. I have removed them as bookmarks and this makes no difference.

Why does some of my text in imessage get underlined?

Why does some of the text in my imessages get automatically underlined, and how do I change this please?

Is it underlining phone numbers, links? You cannot change it when highlighted blue. If it is underlined red then it has registered as a spelling error. Try going to (Settings > General > Keyboard) There, you can turn off "Check Spelling" and it will no longer underline any words.

Why are some sort order texts goasted rather then solid black?

To all and anyone
The subject says it all...
Why are some sort order texts ghosted rather then solid black?
Thanks!
Fred

The ghosted/grayed values correspond with auto sorting. Auto sorting drops the leading articles, a/an/the, and variations in other languages, so that for example, The Beatles sorts as Beatles under B unless you explicitly override the auto sort by putting The Beatles in the sort value so that it sorts under T.

Why do some if my texts show on my ipad and others only on my phone??

Why do some of my text messages come up only on my iPhone while others are shown on iPhone and iPad?

As I understand it, if your iPad is wi-fi only, you will only see text messages sent from other Apple devices. Others sent through cellular service will only be seen on a cellular device, i.e. the iPhone.

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?

Why are some webfonts displaying all jagged?

I am running the latest Muse release and I notice that some webfonts display all jagged on regular screens although they display perfectly clean on Retina displays.
However, some others display just fine on both type of screens (regular and Retina).
As an example, here is the same element using both Forum and Ubuntu fonts. It looks clean in Muse, as it does on Retina displays. But it looks awful on regular displays.
Obviously the former have a much better quality, yet regular screens can display elements such as custom fonts pretty good.
In this example, the first screen shot if from my MacBook Pro Ret Display and the second one from my 27" Thunderbolt Display.
Strangely, the Ubuntu font which I've used on another website, displays just fine on both types of screens. I don't get it.
If anyone has any idea about this, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

"What are your thoughts Hobson?"
I'd first just like to state for the record that I'm almost completely and utterly convinced that I am not Helen Mirren.
I've noticed a few other similar quirks today at ASC, Cap'n. (Email notifications arriving before the relevant post has started to show in the thread in question ... some recent activity not showing in some communities in "Your Stuff > Communities" and so forth.) So I'm inclined to believe it's more evidence of a low-grade ASC tummy upset of some description.
(Of course, it's also plausible that I might have gone barking mad prior to making this reply. In which case, it would not be prudent to trust my judgment on such matters.)

Does anyone have problems with some websites where text is overwritten and it is impossible to navigate the site as the buttons to for example confirm purchases do not work?

I am having problems with some websites - e.g. Easyjet and more recently the Sport Relief website, where the text overwrites other text and images and it means it is impossible click to accept, confirm or find further information?

Why is some of my text not formatted correctly in xml?

Hello,
I've been trying to do some xml publishing via Framemaker 9.
I've created EDD, DTD, rules, structapps, CSS (style sheet), and template files to transition manuals from framemaker to xml. However some of the text I see in the xml file isn't formatted quite right. The element tags are there, but some of the text/paragraph tag formatting hasn't carried over.
What I'm trying to figure out is if this means I have an issue in my rules file or in my stylesheet file? As anyone had a similar experience?
I would appreciate any help and thanks in advance.

No .. I did mean to import the template and EDD into the XML file.
You're saying that when you open the XML you're not seeing the formatting .. that's where the template and EDD need to be imported.
The way a structure application works is when you open an XML file in FM, you are either prompted to select a structure application or it is asigned automatically based on the doctype or public ID. If you've only got one structure application with the "Chapter" doctype, then it should get assigned automatically. It opens the XML file and imports the template from your "Template" file as well as importing the EDD that's been imported into that file. Doing this manually will simulate the process. If it works when you do it manually but not when you just open the XML file, then the structure application isn't set up properly.
Your rules file may be OK, but it's likely that the DTD needs to be tweaked a bit if it's been generated by FM. I would disable all of the CSS settings .. those really aren't needed for what it sounds like you're doing.
This is one of the reasons that I discourage people from using structured FM files. It's easy to end up with a mix of structure (elements) and unstructure (tags) and it all looks fine .. but when you save to XML, you're only going to get the structure bits.
The conversion process from unstructured FM to XML can be very difficult. You need to spend the time to really understand how all of the pieces work (DTD, EDD, etc), and you may want to rethink your model to make it efficient and useful. You don't just want to do a one-to-one mapping from tags to elements .. if you do you're missing the whole point of XML. You'll probably need to set up some scripts and automation to perform analysis and refactoring of the content before conversion, as well as some cleanup after conversion.
Also .. unless you have a really good reason to do otherwise, you should take a serious look at using DITA or DocBook. These models are not perfect, but using one of them will simplify your life considerably and will allow you to take advantage of the huge pool of authoring, publishing, and development support that exists for those models. Developing your own XML model is a big thing to undertake.
Cheers,
...scott

Why are some websites squished to one column on the left?

All of a sudden some websites are all squished in one column on the left side of the iPad and are unreadable or unusable. This hasn't always been the case. I'm using safari. I've rebooted the iPad, I have the latest os system. Two examples are:
Www.unifiedpatriots.com
Www.vassarbushmills.com
I have my own website and it's been fine.
Www.conservative-outlooks.com
And the larger websites are fine as well. I'm really stymied.

Bad web design, or a proplem with the linked CSS files, would be my guess. Report it to the webmasters for those sites.
At least on one of them, you can pinch out to properly see the site.

Why are some websites very slow loading and others not

Some websites are very slow to load and others not. Doesn't seem to be any logic as to. The affected URL below is one that is very slow. I can understand if it is not an Aussie website. Having said that New York Stock Exchange website "http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=DJI" loads quicker than the subject URL

Why are some websites turning hot pink in Firefox? In IE it's fine. I can't read text and buttons are missing as well as some photos. It's really difficult and I've already checked my Color settings. Help?

I've recently tried to make the switch to Firefox as we all know IE is unsafe and my computer was almost lost to a virus. However, it's been difficult as I can't log into my e-mail (after thirty seconds I get kicked back to the login page) and some screens come up as a violently pink color with pale blue font. Links disappear and often times the wording is rewritten in Times font over a button. Pictures disappear and simply say where the photo came from (like "Photo courtesy of the AP") I've tried to adjust settings but it's not helping any.

You can check the default color settings:
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors
Also make sure that "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" has a check mark.

Why does the website display white blank pages only?

Hello:
I use Firefox 13.0.1 on a Mac OS X, and I often go to www.wenxuecity.com for news. But, in the past couple of days, when I type in that address in the URL window, only a white blank page shows up. Nothing else! If I use Google to find direct links to a few news items at that website and click the links, I also get white blank pages. No error message or anything else.
Could you tell what is going on here?
Many thanks!

Is the page completely blank or is there still some content visible?
