    Firefox has been nothing but problems for me with Wordpress. I switched to ie8 and have a lot less issues.

    If IE8 is showing correctly, but not Firefox, then you coded it wrong. That is the web developer's mantra. Never, ever trust IE8 to do anything right. It's the worst browser on the planet. Always, always use any other browser as a reference for how things should work, including Firefox.

    I used Browser Shots to Look at my Site but I think that are these Shots cached. I don't like using them because they inflate Adsense Impressions. Also Mugzy I was saying that I am a Linux user IE is not an Option for Me Just wondering where the Problem was that Caused this is a Larger Image

    It's not that it's a Problem for me now but it Could be something that Interests Developers

    Press 'Alt 0' and does the problem go away?

    No it does not go Away. I have deleted the original and tried installing a fresh version but I think it's the Theme in General because I now see the same errors in the Preview screen the Theme is Called Shine if you are using wordpress.

    Sorry, I screwed up. I meant you should try 'Ctl 0', not Alt.

    *** WARNING *** I am not trying to pick a fight or be mean, I'm telling you what I see... and I see a LOT wrong here. I don't sugarcoat anything, and am just being brutally honest. I'm not going to give you the fake smile and meaningless platitudes you will get from most forum posters.

    I'm able to recreate that here in FF 3.5.6 under windows 7... but I'll be damned if I can figure out why it's cascading down to using the wingdings font given the TOTAL TRAIN WRECK that is how the CSS is included on the page (which even firebug and dragonfly appear to be choking on, it's CRASHING firebug here and dragonfly is claiming it's an empty document with no DOM). As if all that pointless IE conditional crap (NONE of which should be necessary given how piss simple the layout is) didn't compound things bad enough, you've got css including CSS all targeting "all" (good rule of thumb, if you have more than two style sheets targeting a single media type, you've probably screwed up somewhere)

    Problems abound all over the place with this - Among the validation errors are such complete /FAIL/ as having a DIV inside HEAD, improperly placed META tags, you've got 33k of CSS and still feel the need to inline a style? Could be FF (and opera here) are rejecting parts if not all of the stylesheet thanks to that div alone. Comment placement that is likely tripping IE rendering bugs, heading tags inside the lists that are not for the LI it's in but it's kin, tables for layout, tags that have ZERO BUSINESS on a modern website like FONT and CENTER (begging the question why even bother HAVING CSS at that point), and of course it's using a HTML5 doctype, which probably means you are using both HTML5 and CSS3 crap that isn't even ready for deployment on a production website - there's a reason both specifications are still in DRAFT!

    Let's face it, you're using 46k of markup to deliver 3.6k of content - if that's not proof enough you need to throw away the HTML and start over, nothing is.

    Oh, and as 'pretty' as your little pictures are, they're not worth 146k in 36 files. The body background being the greatest offender since you precomposited the content top in a manner that explains why it breaks on large font/120dpi systems when the title wraps to two lines.
