a page on a website which opens fine in Internet Explorer does not display accurately in Firfox...how can I fix this?
I usually only use Firefox and don't compare screens between Internet Explorer and Firefox. However I was working on a website I am developing with a friend in Seattle and she sent me a trial and the pages don't fit on the screen right, for instance there is a return mail form that runs out of its box and leaves off the bottom of the page. She was having no trouble opening it on her computer (even in Firefox). It opens easily and correctly on my wife's computer in Internet Explorer, as it does on my computer. It is only in Firefox on my computer that it opens wrong. Also, and perhaps it is not related, opening videos in Firefox on my computer takes a long time when they open isntantly on my wife's computer in IE. I have more ready memory, more RAM and more graphics software on my computer than she does. Why should this be happening only in Firefox? I was so happy not using Internet Explorer any longer.
I have attached a link to a page that I am having trouble with. It is not the only one. My screen does not show me the bottom of the response form where I can submit the form. It only shows half of the image verification code and no place to submit. I bet when you open it up you will see the whole screen.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.
I am happy to learn that it is not just me, but not happy that others are suffering the same dwindling faith in Firefox. This should not be happening. I have to check now if Firefox is changing the font choices. I hate to have to go back to Internet Explorer, but what's a poor soul to do?
Setting the "minimum font" to "none" did the trick! Web page displays the same as IE. Thank you!
I like to fiddle with the options all the time and I messed up again. I found out why everything looks white and not all pictures show up. I fixed it by going into the MENU; TOOLS; OPTIONS; CONTENT; under Fonts & Colors-COLORS; the box needs to be checked next to-ALLOW PAGES TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN COLORS, INSTEAD OF MY SELECTIONS ABOVE. This put everything right for me, hope it helps fellow fiddlers.
