ECCIE not working in Firefox

Marcus78's Avatar
I posted this in the national section, but figured it couldn't hurt to get any local advice from here too.

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?
Damn, don't know Marcus. I stopped using Firefox when I purchased a Mac. Have you tried Chrome?

Works fine on my FireFox v21.0, but that is on Linux Mint (same rendering engine though).

If it is more than one that isn't looking good in FireFox it could be video card or possible virus/worm issue. At least that is all I can think of right now without more info.

They may ask you for a screen capture if you post which might be awkward, but maybe you can find some possible issues and solutions to try.

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. Especially now that they called each new version a Beta.

You may also want to search the Mozilla knowledge base. There may be information there that could be helpful.

Works well with Chrome.

So Mokoa, you running the old FF on an XP?

I got it to work again. I completely deleted Firefox from my computer, and did a clean install. That did the trick, for now. Thanks for the input everyone.
