Title: Firefox problems Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Firefox problems * [thecodont](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thecodont/) * (@thecodont) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/) * Hi, * is there a known but in WP 2.3 that has a problem with Firefox? No matter what theme I use my posts look fine in IE7 but are either all pushed to the left with sentences that don’t wrap within the container. Is this a CSS issue or something with one of the posts? * [http://www.joyceanddoug.com/blog](http://www.joyceanddoug.com/blog) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [sparklesperson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sparklesperson/) * (@sparklesperson) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659004) * I’m suddenly having the same or similar issue. I set up my blog last week, set up a theme, checked it in Firefox, and it looked fine. * Posted a link to my list, and now only the header and footer show up, the linksrolls are pushed way down, and post backgrounds aren’t showing… but only in firefox! * I reinstalled, thinking it might be a WP bug, but no luck.

You have an error somewhere. If this started with “posted a link” then check there for a start. * [Suggymoto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suggymoto/) * (@suggymoto) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659010) * I’m having similar issues. Re-installed WP but no change. It is a WP issue. Looks ok until a picture is posted and then all hell breaks loose. Firefox can’t even handle the default and classic themes. Just as well I use IE really! Irritating though. * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659011) * suggymoto – First correct your code so it validates at [http://validator.w3.org/](http://validator.w3.org/) Then in FF you can use the error console to show possible errors. Hopefully the problem can be solved with those actions. * Thecodont – do the same. Your blog failed validation which means it will display with unexpected results. * Also both of you should check to make sure any widgets you are using are compatible with WP. Often WP updates and Widget creators do not. * [michaelbradley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbradley/) * (@michaelbradley) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659013) * I have the same problem. I updated all the code as requested in the WP update service and that didn’t fix it. I figured it was the template I was using so I went back to the kubrick theme that was provided in the download, removed widgets, validated code in the w3.org validator, upgraded firefox and I have the same problem. It works fine in IE7 and Opera but not FF or Flock. * Any suggestions? * [michaelbradley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbradley/) * (@michaelbradley) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659014) * I read a bit more of KMessinger’s reply and realized that I missed the console check in FF. This is the error that I’ve received. * Error: The stylesheet [http://domain.com/blog/wp-content/themes/default2/style.css](http://domain.com/blog/wp-content/themes/default2/style.css) was not loaded because its MIME type, “text/html”, is not “text/css”. * Source File: [http://domain.com/blog](http://domain.com/blog) Line: 0 * No matter the theme, the result is the same. Thanks for the advice, I’ll continue looking into it. If you have a suggestion, please let me know. * Best regards. * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659015) * Thecodont – yours look fine in FF * suggymoto – the Flash movie is causing your problem * michaelbradley – it would be good to have a url so we could check things out * [michaelbradley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbradley/) * (@michaelbradley) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659016) * I’ve changed it back to the proper theme.

Thoughts?_ * Sure, it’s worth a try. Add this to your .htaccess (first line): `AddType text/ css .css` * That’ll do it for a temporary fix. Alternatively, the host needs to modify their server configuration to set *.css to be text/css files. Them doing it is better in the long run than the .htaccess fix, but that should work if you have .htaccess enabled correctly. * [michaelbradley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbradley/) * (@michaelbradley) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659019) * YES! That worked. * In .htaccess, add: AddType text/css .css * [CaseyG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caseyg/) * (@caseyg) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659051) * Hey Michael – thanks for the solution. * Can you step me through what I need to do? I don’t know about the .htaccess file– and adding to it. Can you explain where it is, getting to it and changing it please? * thanks * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659052) * [htaccess location](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Where.27s_my_.htaccess_file.3F) * [CaseyG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caseyg/) * (@caseyg) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659053) * Thanks Moshu! * Okay – so i’ve found the .htaccess. I tried to edit it using FTP on the blog. It wouldn’t allow access. So I downloaded it and tried editing it there. It wouldn’t allow me in either. * can you help me. the “You can edit the .htaccess file by FTP” is a bit advanced in assuming I know how to edit it. * [Suggymoto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suggymoto/) * (@suggymoto) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-problems-1/#post-659054) * Yeah my problem was fixed. It is embedded Flash posts that cause the problem.
