Looks like when I use Firefox for certain web pages, it loads the page up, but everything is minimal...It's only text and no flash...Hope I'm explaining this properly...But, can anyone help me fix this? The pages work in IE, but I hate IE. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about. Thanks.

Re: Firefox not displaying pages properly.

^^The image tag thingies wont let me click on them. You can still copy paste the address for the picture to view it..Something is fucked with my Firefox...I went in and deleted a bunch of log files and cleaned out some shit, and now it doesn't work properly...None of the buttons on my email work (Send/reply/etc)...

I tried re-intalling Firefox with no luck...Any advice?

Re: Firefox not displaying pages properly.

there has to be some setting in FF that you need to check, not sure where though

but, when I deactivated my facebook account and then reactivated it for a minute, something similar happened..so i went to the facebook.com main login page and it loaded fine... I use IE

Re: Firefox not displaying pages properly.

dont think that is a problem with FF, that looks like the page hasnt loaded completed. There's a shit load of missing CSS. Your connection with the server was improperly terminated either because the server is too loaded to serve out requests completely or your there is latency (traffic) between you and the server.

my wife's been using FF for about 1.5 years to go to this Indian website to watch Indian TV online, without incident. She accidentally fired up IE and went to the same site and got whammed with a bad Trojan.

Re: Firefox not displaying pages properly.

I dont doubt it, I wish I had never upgraded to IE7, thats my fault

I just want a browser thats not a resource hog, is that too much to ask?

Re: Firefox not displaying pages properly.

FF3 is a resource hog ? no way dude, it's much lighter than FF 2 and WAYYYY lighter than IE7 - which in Microsoft's true commitment to shitty programming is just like a 2 ton truck entering a slalom.

did you install too many add ons to FF ? That's the only reason it will become a resource hog, if you use it bare, it's damn fast.

It does it with my Comcast email account, and with pages that have flash on them...I even tried to update my flash, but that didn't solve the issue.

None of the buttons on my email work, like send, reply, delete.....Smilies don't work here on MS...I don't know how to fix it.

try uninstalling FF. Be sure you leave the option "unchecked" for removing personal preferences. then download a fresh copy and re-install it in the same folder. see what that does.

Re: Firefox not displaying pages properly.

then you've either been hit by some sort of malware thats screwed your settings/internet connections.

try running a combination of both adaware and spybot to clean your system.
