[J_ZeFF]

SO... when i use firefox certain things dont show up on different website.. the most noticeable website is myspace. Stuff like the login button just dont appear.. and the "Online now" green thing doesnt show up when people are online...

Any idea why, this is extremely annoying, i love firefox.... but i cant use it for alot of things.
all my friends use firefox for myspace and they dont have this problem... even the computer down in my basement uses firefox and does not have this problem..

It appears you're using ff 3 beta 4. I would say try it with a non beta version.

[J_ZeFF]

I literally just got the beta... i had the exact same problem with a non beta version of firefox2.
I got the beta in hopes the problem would go away.

Have you tried to disable all add-ons?

[J_ZeFF]

yes.. they are all disabled.

Im really confused as to why it would do this...

I don't think it is Firefox.
By your account Firefox works without a problem on any other computer but that one.

What OS are you using and what other software runs by default on that computer, especially security software.
What are the other things firefox doesn't do on that computer ?
If you switch to IE (tell us the version) does the problem clear up ?

If you're behind a router and networked ( wired or wireless?) give us information on that as well.

Windows XP SP2
Zone Alarm firewall
AVG anti virus/spyware
Spypot SD resident

Any other browser fixes the problem, but i dislike the other browsers.
opera/IE (the newest)/Seamonkey

Im using AT&T U-Verse, but im on a wired connection with the router/modem thing.
Im pretty certain it did this before we switched DSL providers, which was about 4 months ago.

These guys are the Firefox experts and they'll have a handle on what's doing that.

I have problems with Firefox on a message board. It doesn't display the entire box and I cannot see what I am typing on some of the box on the right hand side. Others I know have the same problem. I have a plugin that allows Firefox to render as IE and I just switch over to that on that board.

Good point.

Even if the IE plug-in doesn't work for J_Zeff it may be a valuable tool for someone else reading this thread.

[J_ZeFF]

Do you.. or does anybody, have any idea what that plug-in is called?

[pam123]

IE Tab : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

[J_ZeFF]

Ok... =D using IE tabs plugin... its fixed.

For now thats good. i still wish i could figure out why it does that though,

That's a question to take to the forum I gave you a link to above.
