• Hello everyone, my Web site text appears slightly larger in firefox than any other browser.

  I tested my site on my laptop using web-kit browsers, IE and Firefox, but Firefox only displays the text to be slightly larger than the rest of the browsers. He made same effects when it comes to images. I tried to define these elements using %, em, px, etc, but all in vain.
  I test "bare bone" as html code:
  < body >

  pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee help

  < / body >
  with css:
  p {make-size: 11px;} do-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif ;} Yet, the outcome is as mentioned above. However, other sites make the same font size on my laptop even in different browsers.

  Identical in Firefox 31 as in IE8.

• Some Web sites do not display the fonts in firefox.

  For a while through a number of updates, I see that on some Web sites, rolling stone and cnbc are two example. If I go to the fonts in my computer and click on restore default settings for fonts, it solved that temporarily the problem. If I go to the settings and disable Web sites use their own fonts, it solves but fonts do not appear as sites intend to make them appear. This does not happen in other browsers, firefox only. I reinstalled windows fonts 7. I tried to disable hardware acceleration... Still has not solved the problem. How can I solve this problem in firefox?

  Do you know if there is a model of policing does not work? If you right click on the text of the problem and choose inspect element (Q), Firefox should open the Inspector tool in the lower part of the tab. On the right side in front of the HTML source code is a box that can usually shows the style rules. Click small heading fonts to show the font used for the text of the problem.

  When I visit the site, the text of the problem is in "Close Gotham" (with more than words displayed in the attached screenshots). These are downloadable fonts.

• After the update to Firefox 6 (and 7 now), I find that some Web sites take ages to load. This problem does not occur with IE. Any suggestions?

  Since the update to Firefox 6 I found that some Web sites a change upward to 5 minutes to load. The same websites load quickly on IE. I had hoped that Firefox 7 should solve this problem, but it happened. If there is no solution, I'll probably have to stop using Firefox.

  Why this link does not go to the IANA, rather than this site?

  Many people have found that setting the maximum number of connections to: config for a lower number has solved the problem of slow Firefox.

  Network.http.Max - connections - default value is now trying to 256 - 48

• can not connect to some Web sites with vista, I get invalid email and/or password

  I'm running Vista Ultimate, as is my wife. When I try to connect to some Web sites like the login screen 'to listen online now' at xmradio.com, I get "address incorrect e-mail and/or password" on my computer but it works fine on my wife. I have built and configured two computers in the same way and both are up to date with the latest patches. I also tried several browsers, and they all have exactly the same way, they DO NOT work on my computer but they are working on hers.  Help...

  Hi PeterKnight,

  (a) since when are you facing this problem?

  Well, it seems that the problem is with your \password Email that is not letting you connect to the site Web XMradio. For more information, you can contact XMradio:

  Firefox using v29.0.1; running Win 7 Pro 64-bit version.

  Some Web sites do not display correctly - as if Firefox is not find CSS (Facebook for one).

• Some Web sites are displayed in Japanese.

  I messed with my computer settings for a long time and since then, some sites Web will appear in Japanese. Currently, I'm trying to access https://squareup.com/

  The Web site loads in English, but once I log in, it passed to Japanese. In my account settings, only two language options are English and Spanish, so it isn't that. I changed my language preference on Firefox to be English and cleared my cache and cookies from this site in particular, but not luck. I also checked the default location of my computer option in the region and language of my control panel. It had been set at the Japan, but I changed to the United States and restarted my computer. This has no effect on the site.

  What other options do you think this could come from? I'm running out of things to tinker with.

  Well, a solution has been found.

  In the menu Options in Firefox, you can go to the content and choose your preferred language, right? I had mine set to English, but the Japanese was also in the list. Although being not marked as favorite, she apparently became favorite on some Web sites, maybe bad encoding, maybe lucky, I don't know. What I had to do was to remove entirely the Japanese in this list.

  I thought that this could happen because there are a lot of Japanese users who also have English in their lists, and therefore Firefox guess I'm Japanese, learn English as a second language?

  Anyway, if you have this problem, remove it from the list and it should be fine.

• Some Web sites do not show text correctly but only in Firefox

  Firefox does not display text on some web sites, all I get are |, <>of arrows, points etc and yet I can see very well in Chrome or IE pages. IV removed my FF, disabled theme Add ons and check if everything is updated and still nothing.

  Its really annoying, the main site, I have a problem with is http://www.three.co.uk but I just discovered this site well http://css-plus.com/examples/plugins/PlusSlider/ there has been others in the past, but I just ignored it for a while but now its annoying me! 99.99% of the sites are absolutely perfect and if I disabled style sheets I see the text very well, but of course, it's all left aligned etc.

• Gibberish, loading up on some Web sites

  So, for some time now, some Web sites have been appearing as pretty much gibberish. Just a series of things of brand black diamond-question thoes. I thought it was a problem of encoding, but I couldn't fix it, so I just used chrome for the weird site, I needed. In any case, now it has began to appear in more and more Web sites, and now finally it appears when I try to access my google account, making access to my impossible Email (on firefox). Here's a screenshot.

  I still think that it is a coding problem, but my infernal fiddeling doesn't seem to be changing anything at all.

  Any help would be great. I do not like the idea of switching to Chrome.

• Safari crashes when you visit some Web sites.

  Safari freezes when I visit certain websites. The sites include espn.go.com and www.nytimes.com. I think it might have something to do with the graphics on the page. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed. The gel causes me to restart the computer by using the toggle switch, as my mouse pointer can move, but can't click on anything. Thanks for the help.

  This seems to be the same problem that has affected particularly other Mac and PC users for the past two months, all over the world. Amazon sites especially behave badly in this regard, giving rise to not only the phenomenon of gel, but also the appearance of spinning beachball dreaded Mac. There has been lengthy discussions within these forums about this. Almost all browsers and all platforms are affected by this. Flash doesn't seem to be a factor, and the last three versions of Mac OS x - Mavericks and El Capitan, Yosemite - are also affected.

  The problem seems to be caused by Javascript has changed to some Web sites, which now makes these sites less compatible with browsers. My own investigations have shown that, in the case of Safari, the problem was sensitive to the fontsize. Certainly, in the case of the iMac, if you went in the settings of Safari preferences, to the Advanced tab and set the browser fontsize on 14 or less, he avoided the question and subsequently, the site was stable. In your case, you use a MacBook, but nevertheless it might be useful to try the same thing.

  This problem is widespread, but it will never be fixed unless and until Apple is enough complaints from users. So, complain! http://www.apple.com/feedback. Web sites have to say so, but it is not so easy to communicate with their developers, I found.

  This question has become huge in its importance. Apple seems insensitive to this (or selfless), even after a few months.

  My personal opinion is that, regardless of the implementation "upset" JavaScript on the Web sites, Safari itself has a few bugs in this area. I found the beachball appearing momentarily (with no adverse effect after) when switching back to using the Web to an embedded application or the GUI of my router, for example.

• Some Web Sites display blue text on the left without images

  It doesn't matter what browser I use, some web sites appear as single text in blue on the left without images in all. I am very frustrated and tried all sorts of things: empty my cache, my history of clearing installation of flash, shockwave, java installation, etc. Anyone know how to fix this?

  Style sheets are the rules for the display of the items on the page. For example, change the list of links of chips in a horizontal row without underscore is done with style rules.

  This page on worldnews.nbcnews.com gets most of its stylesheets to a completely different server, www.cdn.newsvine.com. If a filter is binding "third party" content (there may be other names for it) which could explain why the problem occurs on some sites and not others.

  Try to disable all filters of content including the ad blockers.

• I have sec_error_bad_signature trying to open some Web sites

  Clear the cache and cookies from sites that cause problems.

  Try renaming the file cert8.db in the Firefox profile folder in cert8.db.old or remove the cert8.db file to remove the intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.

  If it helped to solve the problem, then you can delete the renamed file cert8.db.old.
  Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the file cert8.db.old to cert8.db to restore previous intermediary certificates.
  Firefox automatically records the intermediate certificates when you visit Web sites that send such a certificate.

  If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
