Certain pages at www.shairfare.com are misaligned in Firefox 5, but they work fine in Firefox 3 and 4. I can't figure out why this happens.

I had to create an override .css file to handle safari and Chrome, because of the differences in the way widths are computed when padding is used (some browsers include the padding in the width, some do not). It may be the case that Firefox 5 uses the same rendering engine as Chrome and Safari (does it?), in which case I could simply use the same override .css file when FF5 is in use. Could you tell me how to load a .css file ONLY when FF5 is in use?

Thanks! Marc

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"

go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. If above suggestions don't work then

go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extension (add-ons) -> Restart Firefox

You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.
