Not quite sure what the problem is but some of the websites I use are not displaying properly. All the information is being displayed in a vertical manner. It is only happening with a some and not all. I have tried a reinstall of Firefox, but it has made no difference. I a pretty sure it is a Firefox problem because the problem is on my laptop (Vista). My tower is fine. Firefox started to act up from one session to the next. Any ideas?

Could it be a virus that nested itself somewhere safely into your computer?? You might wanna give adaware and AVG-like programs a good go at your system.

Thanks for the tips guys. Must be a vista thing because it has healed itself. No idea why, but all sites function like they should. M$ Roll Eyes

the differance in displays is the rendering engine in each web browser. FF reads it properly, so if the code is written badly it will be dusplayed as written. IE somehow just moves things together so they work almost interpreting the code.

Also FireFox does not support ActiveX so if you are trying to access a bank website it will not work as most online banking uses ActiveX. however, their is a FF plugin that will used the IE rendering engine enabling the use of ActiveX
