Firefox and Camino Browser Issue (vanity)

Posted on 12/02/2011 4:04:24 PM PST by steelyourfaith

After my most recent Firefox software update a couple of days ago I have experienced font problems.


TOPICS: Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: camino; firefox
After my most recent Firefox software update a couple of days ago I have experienced numerous pop-ups every time I reboot my computer. The pop-ups inquire whether I want to install various fonts in both Camino and Firefox, one pop-up for each font for each browser.

As annoying as that is, what is most annoying is that on some web pages that I open portions of the text don't appear (when the url is checked in Safari which has been unaffected by the recent Firefox download).

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? TIA.

After my update, the finger gestures on my touch pad do not work in FireFox nor does multi-links. (both I use regularly) If FireFox does not get it fixed soon I will be using chrome more.

Did your font problems last more than four hours? If so, call a professional.

:)

I’m guessing it disabled whatever plug-in you were using to block pop-ups.

Set font preferences to default.

I have those same problems with Finger gestures when ever I see Obama or Pelosi or Reid on TV telling lies! When the gestures don’t work I am compelled to yell out FU. My wife is sometimes annoyed.

Since the update, sometimes a new window doesn’t open when I press “Command-N”.

When I choose New Window under the File menu, it works, just not always with the keyboard command. Weird.

Another Firefox software update this morning seemed to address all my issues. One I didn’t mention yesterday was that in YouTube the visual format in Firefox was in disarray and that is now back to normal. Hopefully the new update will address your issues also.
