[SOLVED] FF does not show text on page..IE and Chrome does

Post by Starlite »

Hi,

I have latest FF 41 with Win 7 Pro 32 although the problem has been with previous FF versions as well.

I am creating a Joomla site and whilst I can see certain text on the site with Chrome and IE, I do not see it with FF.

Any ideas why this could be?

Thanks.

I will PM the link if needed.

Moving to Web Development.

Can you post the URL to the site so folks can see what you are seeing?

Sure..

Site being created now.. still unpublished..

Firefox can't read white text when home page boxes are hovered over... Chrome and IE do see it.

they all click to page okay.. It's just the hovering.

Edit... took link out ...

Clear your cache... for development you should have cache disabled anyway. I'm assuming you are talking about the white text in the hover menus? Works fine for me.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Works for me as well.

Does the transition happen on your Firefox at all, i.e., can you see the background color and little circular icon at the bottom?

Ah haaa. found it !

Not sure what you meant by the little icon.. looked on IE, chrome and FF and couldn't see anything.

Anyway I zoomed out and then saw the text.

Text must have been too big for it.

Anyway cool now.

Thanks for the help.

I will remove the link now.
