Firefox does not render stylesheet immediately?

I'm not sure if this a settings problem or an HTML problem, but on a page layout I'm working on, Firefox does not render the stylesheet immediately.

IE's Default CSS Values

I have a web application that I'm working on for work and its not very Firefox friendly (design was made 2 years before I started with the company).

How do I fix Firefox trying to "Save image as" .htm?

Hi! We've recently implemented Amazon S3 in our site which led us to change the way we handled images. We used to call a controller /fotos.php that would read the file from disk, record some statistics, set headers and return the contents of the file as image/jpeg. All went OK until S3. Fotos.php now does a 302 redirect to the resource...

Is there a way to pinpoint a certain file? ...

Firefox blurs an image when scaled through css or inline style.

Hi When I visually scale an image, firefox 3 blurs it. Firefox 2 and other browsers don't, which is the behavior I expect. This is especially lame for creating a webbased game using png or gif sprites. For example, when showing a 100x100 image in firefox 3 like this: <img src="sprite.gif" width="200" /> or <img src="sprite.gif" sty...

Starting Firefox using Process.Start: Firefox not starting when you set Usename and Password

Hi there. When I try to start Firefox using Process.Start and ProcessStartInfo (.NET) everything seems to work fine. But when I specify a username and password of another account (a member of Users), nothing seems to happen. The same code works fine with Calc.exe or IE. This is weird. Any ideas?

How Does FireFox Work? Source Code Walk Through?

I'd like to learn how FireFox works behind the scenes. I'd like to understand the source code and the different components but the code-base is rather large and I'm not sure where to start.

cross-site XmlHttpRequest in Firefox?

I understand (I think) that XmlHttpRequest objects adhere to the "same-domain" policy. However, I want to create a simple (POC) local html file that downloads XML from a web server and does something with it (let's start with a simple "alert()"). Is it possible at all? Do I need a special Firefox config option? The server from which I'...

How to handle Firefox inserting text elements between tags

I'm trying to write javascript to find page elements relative to a given element by using parentNode, firstChild, nextSibling, childNodes[], and so on. Firefox messes this up by inserting text nodes between each html element. I've read that I can defeat this by removing all whitespace between elements but I've tried that and it doesn't d...
