the following page works on Firefox 6.0.2 by I can't get all the way to the bottom on Firefox 8.0.1 :http://www.wadematthews.info/Wade_Matthews/On_the_Road_in_Argentina.html
On my Macbook running Firefox 6.0.2 with OSX 10.5.8, I can see the webpage perfectly and read the article all the way to the bottom. But on my iMac running Firefox 8.0.1 with OSX 10.6.8 the page seems to come up correctly, but I can't read all the way to the bottom. I simply won't scroll down that far. On the same computer, it will do so in Safari.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
- View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
- Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
- Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Maybe Mac only?
Can you scroll all the way down if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode
Hi. Thanks for helping! When I start firefox in safe mode and try to pull up the webpage, I get: a different webpage saying: This page is generated by Parallels Plesk Panel, the leading hosting automation software. You see this page because there is no Web site at this address.
I know this isn't true because it's my webpage and it comes up perfectly on my other mac with an earlier operating system. It also comes up on this mac in Safari. I don't know what to think.
