When I visit your site in FF 2.0.0.6 Mac I don't see what you describe. The fonts are not "8px everywhere" and they do not change in left column when in SSL.

I'm not sure why you would be seeing those things on your machine. Perhaps you found and fixed the problem already?

Hi Rob

Thank you for taking the time to review our issue.

we took screenshots of your site from FF and Safari, and you may see the differences there. Every Zencart has this issue from our Macs here:

Maybe a setting in Firefox that we are not aware of?

In Safari, The left links look the same in SSL and non-SSL on your site though (all our sites use a shared SSL, I don't know if it can make a difference). Even the stock Zencart doesn't display right...

Yes, there is a difference in the way those two browsers draw fonts. (At least there is when the browsers use their default settings, which I never change so I can see what others see.)

But that wasn't what you were asking about, was it? If so, I didn't get that sense from your original message. You asked about font size changing under SSL. And you asked about really small font size -- 8px -- in FF.

Maybe you could be more specific about what you think is wrong.

Mac here with the latest Foxfire. No secure layer yet but I've been having the same problem with my font changing size each time I call up a new page. It goes from 8pt to 12pt and then back again. Most annoying. Must be a Foxfire Mac problem.

Thank you Catherine-Beth to let me know I am not the only one to have this Foxfire problem ;-)

Oh! Foxfire - I don't have that browser so I didn't see the issue.

But seriously folk, there is almost certainly an issue with your site's CSS or template rather than with a particular browser. There are minor differences in the way browsers render things even when they don't have bugs, but nothing as extreme as what you're describing.

As to FrenchFrog's message saying that you took screen shots of my site showing the problem, that's not my site (I've never seen it before in fact) and they don't seem to show a problem. The shots are identical in fact.

I also don't see a problem when I go to the site you provide a link to, using my regular development browser, Firefox. Nor do I see a problem in Safari, though it renders the site slightly differently than FF. (Both are the latest versions in Mac OS X.)

Can you provide a link to a page that shows the problem you see, and describe what it should look like? I'm sure we can help.

The jpgshave been removed from our server, and what you see is A 404 page ON OUR SITE (and yes, all 404 pages are identical :-), not yours of course, but I can assure you that these screenshots show obvious discrepancies

Twice I've offered to help if you'd provide more information. But you haven't offered any more information to help me help. Information like a link to a page which shows the problem, or screen shots of it, or steps to follow so I can duplicate the problem -- anything... .

I'd like to see the images of my site that you say show the problem. That would be a good start to my figuring out what's wrong. Can you put them back up somewhere I can see them?

It would also help if you were specific about the browser versions in which you see the problem on your site. You may have an old version of Safari or FF for instance. There's another recent thread here in the Stylesheet forum which claimed a problem only in Safari, then they came back with another post saying they'd updated and now they had no problem.
