One of my web sites will not load in Firefox 14.0.1
I'm using an imac with OS 10.5.8 I upgraded to Firefox 14.0.1 I have 2 web sites. One of them - none of the pages - will not load in the new Firefox, but the other is fine. I can access all other web sites with 14.0.1, but not this one. I can get to it fine with Safari. My web host said he has no problem accessing the site on his computer with Firefox 14.0.1. I've tried all the suggestions on the Firefox "fix" page, but it hasn't helped. When I try to access the page, I only get part of it superimposed on the site I just visited, and if I click the scroll bar all the text on the page doubles up on top of itself. This is the url: http://waddywachtelinfo.com Can anyone give me a suggestion? I'm totally befuddled. Thanks! Nina

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I tried those things already, cor-el, but it didn't help.
I cleared cookies, cache and history. In Safe Mode, the web site still will not load.

If you open the Web Console (Tools > Web Developer > Web Console; Cmd+Shift+K), do you see any successful requests to load files from the server if you do a hard reload?

In the Web Console, I see a lot of entries with the words: Declaration Dropped.
There are a few with the words: Expected media feature name but found '...'
One has the words: Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.
I opened the page with problems, and pressed Command+Shift+R. The page reloaded, but with the same problem.
You need to check the Net log to see if the content is loaded normally.
You can (temporarily) hide all other messages in the Web Console panel via the buttons.
Is this what you mean?
I found this:
Expected color but found ';'. Error in parsing value for 'color'. Declaration dropped.
Here's the html code:
table.mainbody a:link {color: #6699FF; }
table.mainbody a:visited {color: #6699FF; }
table.mainbody a:hover {color: #CC99FF; }
table.mainbody a:active {color: #6699FF; }
table.maintop a:link {color: #6699FF; }
table.maintop a:visited {color: #6699FF; }
table.maintop a:hover {color: ; }
table.maintop a:active {color: #6699FF; }
table.mainheadline a:link {color: #6699FF; }
table.mainheadline a:visited {color: #6699FF; }
table.mainheadline a:hover {color: ; }
table.mainheadline a:active {color: #6699FF; }
There is not supposed to be a hover color for that text on those pages. The hover color only applies to links on the page. If that was the problem, then why would others using Firefox 14.0.1 be able to view the pages fine?

Have you given up on me, cor-el? That's okay.
I'll just be using Safari. Everything works fine with it.
Thanks for trying to help! :-)
