Browser Issue???

cassanova · #1 10-29-2011, 08:30 AM

For some reason, when I open my facebook page with Firefox, it looks like the attached photo. It doesn't look that way with IE, only Firefox. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but it was to no avail. Anyone know what happened, and more importantly, how to resolve the problem?

Thank you!

What version of Firefox are you using?
Using a firewall?
Clear your cache.
Disable ad blocker.

I got that issue worked out and have a new dilemma. The font on my facebook is so small it might as well be microscopic. I'm on Windows Vista, and tried adjusting the font size via the personalization aspect, but that didn't help things. It only made my desktop icons huge. Any ideas of what to do there would be appreciated too.

Well that first issue is facebook's CSS not rendering properly.

After that, go to your internet options and you can set your font size there. You can also hit the control button and scroll your mousewheel up or down to increase/decrease the size of your browser's font.

I did that, I set the font to 20 and it was still tiny. The ctrl and mouse wheel seemed to do the trick though. TY!

The stylesheet isn't loading. I'm assuming you have a (deprecated?) plugin that blocks or alters it.

Doubt it. Unless it's a .js triggered stylesheet load he shouldn't have any issues. And then at that I'm pretty sure he would have enabled scripts from facebook.com at this point.

All the first one was was the browser not properly rendering the stylesheet.

I did have some plugins that needed updating. But I don't see how that would effect the overall font/picture size on FB, because it was the only site that was doing it.

It wouldn't, because it's not a plugin issue.

It's nothing more than the .css files either not loading or not rendering due to some issue with facebook's servers or your internet connection.

Natures way of saying you need to stop playing with Facebook!
Ha!
