Why empty boxes appear instead of text on many web pages?

Several months ago, we started to have pain on our desktop Mac OS X with Firefox. On many web pages, including the Home Support of Firefox page, I see empty boxes instead of text. The boxes have not all the letters in them. If I copy and paste boxes in MS Word it translates them in the text, but not on the web page.

    Is there a way to search for text on a Web page in the version of the modern UI for IE10?

  • Some information are obscured by other text on the Web page

    A previous part of a hidden Web page. The owner of the Web page tells me its my browser and I have consulted the same webpage using Google and it was ok. It seems to be the fault of Firefox. How to fix it.
    I restarted in safe mode, but the site is the same.

    You are welcome.

    Web sites that use absolute dimensions, and then especially the height, for containers (text) are generally very sensitive to any change in the size of the font.
    Usually immediately, you notice that there are questions if you lean to recognize its effect and then you must undo the changes (temporarily) if it's really worse as in your case and content get lost.

    You use the zoom full page will not cause problems in most of the cases, but I have sen case when same zoom causes issues.
    If it's on the websites you visit every day, then you can invest some time to see if you can come up with a stylesheet with userContent.css or elegant code to disable specific height settings (i.e. apply height: auto! important ;) or set the font size settings.) Zoom has the disadvantage of content that is already great will get even bigger (this forum is an example: a text is extra large and some smaller than 100%).

  • I want to EMBED text in a Web page

    Hello

    I am writing a small site for a friend and his band.  He has no knowledge of computing either.

    I wrote the skeleton of a page so that it can add a place, date and time of when the band will play next.  He does this by creating and downloading a file of text of the word indicating, for example. "June 11, 2015 at the cellar Bar.  On the Strip at 21:00.

    Is it this registers in a .txt of the Word file and then download it on the server, I want to add a line to the web page that calls the .txt page text and displays it on the Web page.

    Any ideas?

    Most servers support PHP Server Side Includes that would allow this.

  • I can't save my PDF files. When I hit Save as an empty window appears instead of a menu of files or folders Windows Explorer view. I'm a Publisher and save files under new names of files after changing them. Why can't I just save these files in Adobe DC (

    I run Acrobat Professional so that I can change/brand place/comment in the PDF files. At one point recently I noticed "Acrobat Reader DC" in the name of the file at the top of the page. I do not have ask this or do anything to get there that I was aware of this. I adjusted for the new look of the screen and edited several files without incident. But yesterday, I opened a large file which had been addressed to me in Dropbox. When I downloaded and opened it and tried to change it, the selection tool was not aligned properly, so the selected areas were elsewhere on the page, where the cursor was. I restarted my computer and was able to change the file more or less normally (I noticed more little glitches with this CD player but I can live with them). But when tried to save the file with a new file name, like I always do to differentiate files that changed since the original files, the save window is empty. There is no option to save the file with a new file name. In fact. There is no option to save the file with the changes! I thought maybe it was a problem with this file only, but when I tried to edit a file provided by regular e-mail, I met the same problem trying to save to a new file name. What is the relationship between my old Acrobat Professional and Acrobat Reader DC? Why can't save files normally? I managed to save the changes I did by saving it in the cloud to Adobe (I had to then because I could not send the file by e-mail because of its size - I tried to send it to me)., but I'd rather widely navigate in Windows Explorer to work with files. I suspect that there is some simple aspects about what I am simply absent or do not know. Can anyone help?

    Hi Nathalie,.

    Please take a look at this thread and let us know if we get to the brand:

    "Save as" box pop up does not allow me to save the document.
