That works out perfect! I am a general user and MacNews is perfect with no problems in FF for me.

Enlarge to see it better. I've posted something like this before in this forum several weeks ago. Since it is only my problem, I'd ignore it. Thanks Neil.

MacTech problem is in the top where I scribbled and you cannot read the words:



Here is Screen Shot of MacNews: (both screen shots have all FF add-ons, etc. turned off/disabled.) That is why I am having difficulty with Reboot wanting me to turn off this stuff. Both are your pages from your projects. Why could I get one perfect and not the other?

I posted this one February 8, 2010:



You thought it might be cleared up with cache refreshing or something like that according to your response and we were supposed to wait overnight for results.


.

Both pages are OK for me with FF 3.6, X 10.6.2, MacMini 2.0 GHz core2duo, 2 GB RAM. Still, there's that login issue, though.

Since you've been good enough to post the pics could you try one more thing?

Launch Firefox while holding down the Option key.

It will start FF in Safe Mode, it takes quite a while longer to launch BTW. In the dialog box that comes up don't check mark anything, just click "Continue In Safe Mode."

Thanks Kate.

I just got an idea of what this is. Stay tuned.

Kate,

Try it now.

Thanks!

Neil

Both still load and display correctly for me.

Don't know what you did, but it is A-okay now Neil! Like I was trying to suggest to Reboot, didn't see how it could be my fault when MacNews [almost identical page] loaded perfectly, but MacTech did not load perfectly!

Thank yew very much.

Kate

So, you were actually both right.

The problem is that there's something funky about fonts on your setup. The fonts you have are taking more space to display than what most people see.

The MacTech menus were tight, and therefore wrapping in a way that didn't work, but the MacNews menus had more breathing room, and that's why they worked.

Your screen shots gave me the idea as to the fix -- which was to trim down the MacTech menus.

Thanks!

Neil

Reboot! [edit: oops! Neil sez it was my fonts! Go figger. So give me your address and I'll send you a fifth of something ] I'm hardly ever right in disagreements with my friends, heh.

[/edit]

Under most circumstances, you tell me to "jump" and I'll ask "how high" but in this case I was pretty certain my FF was not at fault. I did think it might be some other additive on my iMac in another place, but as you see, Neil has fixed the problem.

<--Bigger Better!
