Firefox 2.0.0.18 on iMac G3 600 with OS 10.3.9.
There is a discrepancy between the way in which FFox displays different web pages, such as the ones shown in the attachments.
They are, respectively, the BBC News page, another Mac forum page, and then this M-F page, which shows quite normally.
My guess is that this has come about following the excruciating process of establishing browser links in FFox, with countless infuriating cookies being set, and after installing new software on the iMac after an erase and install of Panther. I denied cookies that were blatant advertising links, and maybe I denied a cookie that determines how a page is displayed.
Any advice, other than removing all cookies, and then going through the whole horrendous process again? I am not going to have ads and banners bothering me while I'm browsing Mac forums.
