Sorry to repost this as a new topic, but it seems to have died in the previous thread. Several of us have been having issues with firefox not displaying content. I install a template, it displays at first in firefox, then all content except header, footer and background disappear - however, as you mouse-over the blank page, the cursor changes where the links should appear. Have cleared cache and cookies, have completely removed my site and database and reinstalled on both my localhost and live testing server and still the problem persists. There are no issues viewing the site in IE - in fact, I can open the two browsers side by side, IE displays the content, Firefox is empty.

Owing to the fact that I have never personally (to the best of my memory) visited any-other site that exhibits these characteristics, I have to wonder if there are any compatibility issues, or if there is something I am missing.

I am using Joomla 2.5.4, Firefox 11 and IE8. However, I have various different versions of both Firefox and IE on several different computers around the house, and have the same issues with all...

This is driving me mental...

Cheers,
Keith

have you check your server speed? i guess it is the issue of slow loading maybe from your hosting services or the speed of your connectivity.

Hosting server has reputation for being one of the fastest, plus have the same issues with my localhost - shouldn't be any issues there

Did you also clear the server cache? Do you see any javascript errors?

More information would help. What is the URL? Which template are you using?

As mentioned, I completely deleted the site and the database from the server and started again with a new database and clean install. The template is a Rocket Theme Ionosphere and I scoured the RT forums first as I thought it may be a RT issue - there were a few people having the same issues, but then I noted that there are others on the Joomla forums having the same issues and I'm guessing they are not all RT users? I am not seeing any javascript errors, and I have not cleared the server cache, but with a fresh install, and a two-hourly automated clean of the server cache, I don't see this as a problem. As the site is "down for rebuilding", it won't allow entry without super-admin rights, which I'm happy to send you privately if you wish. Seems to me, a lot of people would be happy to resolve this one...

As johans suggested, have you tried changing the default template to one of the standard Joomla templates, beez_20? That would give you more test results and then hopefully point to the right direction.

What about your server configuration - version of PHP on the hosted server and localhost, are they fulfilling the minimum requirements? Any PHP errors or notices in the PHP error log - you do maintain a PHP error log, don't you?

Toivo... I'm certainly living up to my title of 'apprentice"... Perhaps I should be out buying lunch for the crew!

Have confirmed all versions of php etc on both server and localhost, however, no, I don't keep a php error log, don't know what it is or where it would be found...

I'm also wondering if, as we are on a wireless connection (as we're part of the 1% of Australians who don't have access to cable - according to the Government) if there could be fluctuations in the wireless service which may cause issues - is it possible that FF develops a memory hic-cup if there is a microsecond interruption of the wireless signal? You're right, it sounds stupid, but I'm clutching at straws!

You can find out the location of the PHP error log from the PHP details in System Info. The location of the error file is set in the php.ini file which you should be able to access in your localhost setup. The PHP details will you its location. In WAMP it is in the bin folder under Apache.

Here are the key entries in php.ini which you need to tailor to your requirements:
Code:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
display_errors = On
log_errors = On
error_log = "c:/wamp/logs/php_error.log"
You can select the maximum level of error reporting in the Joomla Control Panel - Server Options.

And yes, a slow connection can cause problems, too. The RocketTheme templates are by no means lean ;-)

Interesting issue... mine is similar except it is ie which does not show the article contents on my test site and on my domain it is discombobulated(mispelled of course). It shows 2 columns, 3 column is missing the login is located around the footer...

Yet using chrome none of these issues exist. What next?

Any ideas are appreciated while I plug away on this issue!
