Example: https://www.stuftpizzabarandgrill.com/catering/ AND MANY OTHERS

Pages do not display properly and are difficult or impossible to read only in FF. This is a regular problem on many sites, not just this one.

In this particular page, FF displays black text on a very dark gray background. I just checked it in IE, Chrome, Opera, and Safari for Windows and they all show white text, making it readable.

This is obviously a problem with the way FF displays pages and ONLY FF.

Using Vista but that should not be an issue. All the other browsers checked show the page properly.

waynec444, can you attach a screenshot of the page?

Can you provide us a second page with the same issue and a screenshot, too?

I guess you have a font problem in your OS... Can you open a writing program like Word and search for the font 'Arial'? Does this font exist in you system?

The info by clicking on the lock says it is not secure. Some elements have been blocked by FF but images have been displayed. Hope this is what you want, cannot copy/paste.

I used to have eset but it is not in use now. I don't know if it is still "installed" on my computer. I know it is not active.

Btw., as said above: You should consider to switch to at least Win7.

...and you should have an active antivirus program... ;-)

But you shouldn't be connected with this system anymore to the internet... It's really insecure!

I guess you won't find 'Arial' ... ;-) So you OS is damaged! But you can try to fix it... Open 'cmd' from the start menu... ...and run 'sfc /scannow'... ...and look, if it's fix.

If you're only not updating because you do need some programs which arent supported under WIn7, you should consider using them in a virtual machine like vmware or virtualbox.

back to your problem: please try going to about:settings and changing security.block_script_with_wrong_mime to false

Normally Fx should come with on fonts! Maybe dehe25 or I fill later a bug to it...

ESSET does sometimes destroy SSL certificates, which can lead to CSS files not being loaded.

Lock->Right Arrow Button->"Deactivate protection" or something like that.


here's another bug in esset which can cause this error, too: https://support.eset.com/kb3126/


more likely it's about mime-types in about:config "please try going to about:settings and changing security.block_script_with_wrong_mime to false"

last possiblity: create a shortcut to firefox.exe and add [space]-ProfileManager (hit spacebar instead of [space] this allows you to create a new profile. You can backup your old profile by saving the top profiles folder from where prefs.js file has been copied.

if everything fails, you can send me your firefox folder. add it to a zip archive and upload it to zippyshare.com - don't forget to mark down the delete link, you will most likely want to delete the file afterwards.

for privacy reasons, you can delete your history, saved passwords, and bookmarks (back them up before deleting!)
