I made recent changes to my website and now some tables are no longer centered. They look ok in IE and I have done this literally thousands of times with no issue until now.
I'm using FP2003 and have made changes to many pages that have simple tables that are all centered in FP and after uploading these tables are all justified to the left when viewed in Firefox but in IE they look fine. I have had this site for many years and have well over a thousand pages with tables that I have changed numerous times in the past without issue.

The pages that work have an extra DIV that makes the page center.

Can you post a link to a public page that doesn't require authentication (log in) to access it?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
- Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Hi cor-el, This did not work. There must be something in a newer firefox update that changed how things appear. Here is a link to one page. The same thing is happening to many other pages. Pages that have tables that were NOT updated are still ok
Looks fine here.
Can you attach a screenshot?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Safe mode made no difference and I'm running in default theme. Here is a screenshot. You can see all the text justified to the left. They should be centered. I'm using Win7 Thanks
I'm on Linux and I can only use Google Chrome for comparison and it looks the same in Firefox and GC like in your screenshot.
Can you attach a screenshot of how you think that it should look in Firefox?
Which text should be centered on that page?

Here is a screenshot in IE. All of the text is in tables that are coded to be centered and appear correctly in IE. As mentioned earlier, I have never seen this before. The strange thing is that I made updates to some pages last week and those updates are ok. This is only occuring in updates I made this week. So some pages look good while others don't however they are all the same, just basic tables that have been centered.

Thanks cor-el. You are right it is missing but I don't understand how this tag could have gotten deleted.
