Hi,

I was contacted today by several firefox users who complained that my frontpage is not showing properly. However, another person commented in my forum that she has no problems seeing my webpage correctly. Turns out, she is using an older firefox version (automatic update diabled) and Linux.

Is anyone else experiencing this kind of a problem?

I checked. My site (www.annsworld.de) is showing fine in IE, Chrome and Opera.

In Firefox, it briefly flashes the frontpage as it should be (for a fraction of a second) and then reverts to a view of just the centre column without any sidebars or header.

If one then clicks on one of the posts - the view of the post page goes to normal as it should be - complete with all sidebars and headers.

Very strange.

It is not showing properly for my in FF 3.6.3 but other Atahualpa sites are showing fine. What version of Atahualpa and WordPress is that site on?

It is Atahualpa 3.4.6 and WP 2.9.2

I have looked a bit and cannot find the issue. Have you added any CSS Inserts, modified any of the theme files, or added any older plugins?

Hi Larry,

Thank you for having a look at it.

I installed the whole thing starting only ten days ago. So the pluggins I added should have been the latest versions. Added a little bit into the CSS file via the ATO. Nothing major though - defining fonts for titles. I am just learning how to use CSS and PHP. So I did not touch any theme files. All the changes were done with plugins and with what I could do via the ATO.

I think it was working before the firefox update. At least I did not have any complaints. It never occured to me to check. I downloaded Firefox only today when I found out that there were problems. It seems most people have automatic updates - so it s hard to check, if the older version really was working ok for this. The one user that has an older version also uses Linux - so I do not know, whether it working has to do with Linux rather than with the older Firefox version.

I just did the Firefox upgrade and checked my site, and it looks fine. I checked Ann's, and it looks as she said. I checked it in Chrome and Safari, and it looks like it should: left and right sidebars and right inner sidebar.

Ann, I suggest that you disable all of your plugins and even remove any CSS or anything else you've done. Check the site. If it's back to normal, you know where to start, at least. Use some of the default widgets to populate the sidebars, if deactivating plugins also removes your widgets. Re-enable each plugin and check it in Firefox as you go along. Remember to dump your FF cache and reload as you go.

Just because a plugin seems OK does not mean it will work well in all cases. I've found that out many times!

Let us know what happens.
