When I updated to Firefox 9.0, one of my sites (using Mediawiki) messed up its formatting, showing the left-side menu below the main content instead of alongside it. Here's the URL:

Does hardware acceleration make any difference? Wondering whether it's a computation problem with the margins and widths specified in em.

It's doing it the same way in both my home and work computers. The site format is, as far as I'm aware, a standard Mediawiki default template.

I see the same in Firefox 9 and later versions (Aurora, Nightly). Firefox 8 is OK.

Okay, went and got Fx9. With NoScript active, it's fine. If I enable scripts, the navigation/search/toolbox drops down below the main column. That said, I can't see the reason that the scripts should affect those elements (they are little complicated...).

Re: Formatting of my site changes in FF 9.0
Seems to be a problem with navigator.taintEnabled that is no longer supported and causes is_khtml to be true and that causes a KHTMLFixes.css stylesheet to get loaded.

So the solution seems to be to restore the margin with this code in userContent.css
Thanks to knorretje for finding this.

Code: Select all
var is_khtml = (navigator.vendor == 'KDE' || ( document.childNodes && !document.all && !navigator.taintEnabled ));
http://www.elanthipedia.com/w/skins/mon ... LFixes.css
Code: Select all
#column-content { margin-left: 0; }
So the solution seems to be to restore the margin with this code in userContent.css
Code: Select all
@-moz-document domain(www.elanthipedia.com) { #column-content { margin-left:-12.2em !important; } }

Upgrading to the latest MediaWiki installation seems to fix that issue with the site.

Re: Formatting of my site changes in FF 9.0
I had this same problem with the new FF version and an older MW 1.9.3 site. Unfortunately I could not find the userContent.css file... So I just modified the KHTMLFixes.css stylesheeting to
#column-content { margin-left: -12.2em; }
and saved the file. This fixed the problem at hand.
Actually I had experienced the same problem with Google Chrome... but the fix here did not work. So I went in search of some help... and found a article at http://groups.google.com/group/chromium ... dea3ba6063 that suggested to just remove the "KHTMLFixes.css" file.
Being the cautious type... I changed the name to "_KHTMLFixes.css"... and the result was that both FireFox 9.0 and Google Chrome 16.0.912.75m are working with my old Media Wiki 1.9.3 software.
I checked, and could confirm that the problem does not exist in MW 1.16
