Website not working in Mozilla Firefox

Marcus78's Avatar
I've always liked Mozilla over IE, but as of a few hours ago, ECCIE looks awful in Firefox! I've tried restoring the settings in Firefox back to default, cleared cache/cookies/history, etc., and nothing seems to work. When opened in Firefox, all text looks bolded, so you can't tell what is a new post, and what's not. Also, the text looks a bit fatter/not a sleek as before. Finally, on the log in screen, the boxes to put in my username and password are represented by two tiny little squares. They look like a few pixels of white, and you can't see what you're typing into them. The "Remember Me" and "I agree to the Terms of Use" buttons are clearly visible/clickable. Some sites look fine in Firefox (CNN, Facebook, etc.) but some look absolutely awful, so it's hit and miss. Any ideas/suggestions what's going on?

Odd. Mine looks fine in Firefox right now. Will be interesting to see the explanation here.

Marcus...

Did you recently update Firefox? I have used Firefox for years and have in the past experienced issues after an update. Try going back to the previous version you were running. That is what I did. The version of Firefox I am using now is quite old, Version 12. I experienced major issues when I updated it to Version 13 so I went back. I have had no issues since so the desire to go to a current version has long since waned. You may also want to search the Mozilla knowledge base. There may be information there that could be helpful.

What version of Firefox are you using and on what operating system are you running it?

i use only the most recent, up-to-date versions of both firefox and chrome, which are 1000x better than IE, btw, and eccie works perfectly on both. if you have an older version, try a newer one? if you have the newest one, try an older version? the age of your operating system is also a factor. if you're running windows xp, than new browsers might render differently or incorrectly than older browsers which were optimized for that then-current system

No issues here. I'm using Mozilla Firefox 22.0 on Windows 7 Home Premium. All's well in the kingdom of Ireland. I was just wondering what would cause Marcus' problem.
