Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone has had the same problem I'm getting while using fire fox?

The fonts have changed from the original to a bold/italic font?

The screen shot will tell you more :(

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you for any help :)

That almost has to be a view text setting in Firefox somewhere.

I tend to find that I forget about IE doing stuff strangely and only find out when my users complain about something that it doesn't work in IE correctly get looks stunning in FF. Then it's recoding time, and boy do I hate having to do that.

It's not IE messing up, it's Firefox, sorry to say. I tried Firefox and had more problems with it than it was worth.

True, but then so is opening a milk carton. :(

But IE is the standard at the present time and has been for quite a while. ;)

Boofo hit the money! That is what many people don't realize. Internet Explorer is the standard because it is currently the most widely used browser. Standard has everything to do with the market.

If being W3C compliant is the goal making it work in IE is very achievable. Using the proper techniques a site can render identical with IE and Firefox.

What have I done opening this thread :p

I have been using IE for years and I think its the best one out of all browsers.

I will just stick a note for members if they don't like it they can lump it lmao ;)

There are too many getting released these days and there is always a new one on the way :(

I'm sorry to rain on all of your parades, but IE is truely the WORST browser there is. The reason for this? Security.

IE's ActiveX garbage causes tons of security holes and can be exploited by a baby monkey with a 1.3 second attention span. If you accidentially visit a site that has malicious ActiveX, you'll most likely see a virus warning from whatever virus protection software you have pretty quickly.

If you have problems with Firefox (I personally hate it), get Opera.
http://www.opera.com

NOTE: Contrary to popular belief, Opera is no longer a paid browser, its 100% free

Opera renders CSS codes funky. Internet Explorer is exploited because it is the most popular browser. Users who don't have protection, well, that's their fault, not Microsoft's.
