Firefox having problems with more and more websites lately?

[aphex]

When i first started using firefox months ago, i rarely had to click on "View this page in IE' when the page didnt render properly...

Now however, it seems like i'm doing in 3-4 times a day..... Either things don't fully load, or pages don't look correct, or certain features don't work...

Anyone else noticing this?

 

[Nithin]

can u name some sites with symptoms, that don't work? could be an extension screwing things up.

http://usa.asus.com/index.htm <-- Working better today. Yesterday, the menu up top wouldn't work at all due the the flash overlay.
http://www.lge.com/catalog/pro...fix=000000&amp;model=0 <-- Features, Specifications tabs come out in quadruple in Firefox while IE has no such issue.

Looking for more, i cleaned out my history about an hour ago

 

[Nithin]

ya i'm seeing quadruple too. damn these non ie sites. i try to mail the site when i find something not working.
if enough people do it, probably they will do something.

the second link took forever to load in IE, in firefox it was instantaneous.

I tried both links in Safari (it is also standard compliant like FF), and the first one was fine, but I also get the four tabs. I really hate it when people don't test things in browsers other than IE, esp when some people can't use IE (like mac users - well, there is IE5.23, but it sucks).

Gmail seems to have started using ActiveX now. Firefox kept crashing every time I tried to login in and it wasn't until I visited with IE and it started whining about my not having ActiveX enabled that I realized it. If I knew where to write I'd be happy to send a nasty letter about that one.

enable pop, and use thunderbird that'll teach em.

Edit:
And both sites work in opera, I too have the quadruple menu, but it dissapears once I scroll down. So I dont know what to think of it, looks like a bug more than a faulty coding.

I have Gmail and access it using Safari on Mac OS X. There's absolutely no ActiveX support on Safari and I have no problems...

Another one, check the add to cart and YES on the left...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obi...mp;s=toys&amp;n=171454

Then check it in IE

 

[Nothinman]

Amazon has always worked/looked fine in Galeon here, but I don't have IE to compare it to.

Not a FF problem though. If you look @ their source code, all of those errors are from non-DOM/CSS compliant coding.

Both sites work fine in Mozilla 1.7.5, just for reference.

Problems abound in this one.... Is it just me?

Again works fine in Mozilla, but from the SS that certainly is majorly mucked up in FF.

 

[Mem]

Again works fine in Mozilla,

Agreed!....no problems with either site with my Mozilla 1.7.5 browser.

 

[Malak]

No problems in opera.

As for gmail, AFAIK it's always been activex.

I was having trouble with the university of Delaware's athletic site:
http://www.udel.edu
Then click on athletics. Then click on the Blue Hen. That is where FF ketp crashing.

Nevermind, now it is working~!

 

[Nothinman]

Maybe if it detects you're using IE, but I know a lot of people on Linux that have no problems with the gmail web front-end.

You seem to have all ads removed, maybe that does some funky stuff with the layout.

Works fine here

Done and done If it wasn't for that I might have stopped using gmail... until reading the rest of this thread, duh

That makes sense (as per Nothinman's observation), I thought it was a bit odd. Must have been something else that I did wrong with firefox. Regardless, firefox bombed when I visited gmail

Remove all extensions, and clean out your profile. See if it "fixes" itself. I had none of the issues you mentioned.
