<SOLVED> Firefox Applets
« on: September 17, 2011, 01:52:13 PM »
Not sure of the technical words, and I cannot find any help from online Firefox support.
Here is a sample URL with my problem:
http://constitution.hillsdale.edu/page.aspx?pid=474&utm_source=levinforhillsdale.com&utm_medium=redirect

There is a window (applet?) scrolling near the top of the  page with various selections. Whenever I have these windows, Firefox cuts off the bottom line or two. I wonder if this is a java  problem??? I have the latest update of java provided.

If I view in Chromium, I see the full "view" of the window showing all text of image.

This seems to be only since the revisions of Firefox after 3.0

Not happening with my Firefox 6.02

Edit - do you have any Firefox Add-ons like NoScript or similar installed ?

Here's what I see (note, I've zoomed out to fit the whole page in the image)

I don't see that scrolling window in FF 6.0.2  I have pop-ups turned off.

OOooops... The url was changed.
Check this URL:
http://www.centurylink.net/

In my browser, some of the text in the applet "The Water Cooler" near top of page is missing in Firefox but not in Chromium.

Solved myself... I'm a bit obtuse. Fixed problem by adjusting font size in the Firefox Preferences.
Thanks all.
