Some browsers have trouble reading CSS. I had a website alittle while ago that would only load properly in IE, It was completely unreadable in FF.

I had to get a new template off some websites and start my layout all over again.

it didnt have any problems reading anything when it was put on my PC last April 08.and has been ok since.its only the last 2-3 weeks ive had the problem.

I wouldnt know how to get templates or use them.besides which i feel its something thats gone wrong not something that has always been there.

Hello.
Did this start AFTER Firefox did an update? From the screenshots, I can tell it's Firefox 3.0.*

possibly though i didn't see it do an update myself but ive tried looking for new updates and it says there is none.

Firefox does updates itself, that's why it didn't ask.
It's probably as I suggested, the layout will need to be re-done.

so how do i do that? incidentally, i wasnt around when my son put firefox on this pc.was away on holiday so havent a clue whats what with it

I don't think you can do anything. Firefox is a browser which many people suggest is more secure than IE and also is much faster.

well it might be so but not much good to me if i need to see backgrounds and other graphics.
if i uninstall it and re-install a new copy am i likely to get the same thing happen?if so can you recomend another (free) browser i can download thats just as good? i hate IE.

Let me ask one question.
Is this happening in ALL sites that you view in FF, or just that one?

have now uninstalled firefox though i would prefer to use it again if this problem could be solved. my son had installed it again for me but i dont think he did it right as i found 2 copies on my add/remove programmes. hopefully both have been removed now. will be doing a search to make sure today. will download a new copy myself and see what happens then.
meanwhile if you have other ideas please let me know.and thanks all for your efforts thus far.

I don't think you can do anything. Since you hate IE, I suggest you get another good browser, Opera:

http://www.opera.com/

It's as fast as firefox, but it lacks add-ons. 😉

Yes, we may be able to get FF installed again.

To ensure complete removal for Firefox, please follow the below instructions.
1. Uninstall FF using its uninstaller.
2. I have written a little program to remove your Firefox Profile, with all addons and settings.
This program was written in AutoIT. As such, it may be flagged by your antivirus as malware. This is a FALSE POSITIVE. Antimalware devices have been doing this for years. It is safe to ignore there warning about this program,

Download it from here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/8k8axh

Now, please reinstall Firefox from http://www.getfirefox.com
This will ensure that you are getting it streight from Mozilla.

Please let us know if this works for you.
