+weston wanderer Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 My cache pages when viewed in Firefox look different since last weekend. The font size is smaller, everything is truncated. It can't be my laptop as it all looks fine in IE. Has anyone else had this problem? I would do a screenprint if I could work out how! Quote Link to comment
+BCNorwich Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hello There, First off try VIEW ZOOM RESET, see if that helps. Quote Link to comment

+MartyBartfast Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Thanks Bernard, but it makes no difference. Hello There, First off try VIEW ZOOM RESET, see if that helps. Maybe you were previously using it with non default settings, have you tried playing with: View/Zoom/Zoom in View/Zoom/Zoom out Is it only cache pages that are different or are other pages displaying differently? Have you got any of the Greasemonkey scripts installed? Edited October 13, 2010 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment
+weston wanderer Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have tried all the zoom settings. No other internet site pages are affected. I have greasemonkey but have it disabled. The formatting seems to be at fault. There are no bullet points, no emboldening of text, no header for the cache name, no borders around the waypoint information, no paragraph spacings. I know it is not important ion the general scheme of things but it's annoying! Quote Link to comment

I went into my cookies and deleted all my GC.com cookies except for my login details then restarted firefox. That corrected it. Quote Link to comment
+weston wanderer Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I got quite excited by this. I deleted all my cookies Same problem! I have tried all the zoom settings.

+weston wanderer Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have discovered that if I left click the Firefox icon at the bottom right of the window it switches to an IE icon and then displays correctly. I think I would have to do this for each page though. Quote Link to comment
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I got quite excited by this. I deleted all my cookies Same problem! Sorry. Story of my life - get people all excited then disappoint massively Can't think what else to try. Did you reboot the computer after deleting the cookies or just restart firefox? Always worth a restart. But don't get excited or hold your breath Quote Link to comment

All lay-out seems disappeared. It's only in geocaching.com pages. Quote Link to comment
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I have the same problem. This is the result. All lay-out seems disappeared. It's only in geocaching.com pages. That's exactly what I got when my cookies misbehaved. As I described above, clearing out the cookies solved it. Can't think what else it could be if you have disabled all scripts and it is only happening on one website. Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Have you tried clearing the 'cached' pages? In Firefox... Tools > options > privacy > settings Check the 'cache' box OK > OK Exit Firefox Restart Firefox Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I have discovered that if I left click the Firefox icon at the bottom right of the window it switches to an IE icon and then displays correctly. Is this provided by an add-on? as I don't think it's native Firefox, might be worth disabling/uninstalling that add-on and see what happens. If you're still struggling it might be worth asking in the GPS and Technology forum, where you'll reach a much wider audience with a higher proportion of technology oriented people.

+weston wanderer Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 I followed all suggestions. Nothing worked except using the IE Plus add on. Today without doing anything else it's all back to normal. Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Unrelated this time. But. GC.com often up (down) grade software and the website occasionally. But expecting us mortals to trawl and understand the forum thread. I do get a bit pissed with this geek stuff from t2t myself. Quote Link to comment
