Page layout fails in Firefox

[bazbt3]

Past the login screen the site now fails to render the sidebar & icons and, for example* reply to post fails too. Only seen using Firefox. Posts now fill the whole screen width. The site works as-expected in the latest Chrome browser.

Observed Friday June 6 using Firefox 29.0.1 [update, page also fails in FF30.0], Windows 7 and Firefox on @rabryst's Windows and OS X.

Mine was a new install of Firefox, but @rabryst reported the page was working until clearing the browser cache.

*I didn't test everything, sorry.

Firefox is the new Internet Explorer.

I don't get how a site can render in one browser and fail so 'easily' in another - but that's just sour grapes. Firefox is a lot faster on my ancient lappy, and has a more pleasing-to-me UX than Chrome, but it still seems less stable; occasional hangs with ADN Alpha too, but less-obvious, less-easy to test.)

I know, I know. Firefox esp 29 works differently to previous browsers.

I recommend a WebKit based browser... things like demo.pragm.de didn't worked for Firefox too in the past .lol I think certain design elements still fail in Firefox!

But @bazbt3 Thanks for sending in the bug here :) I will see if I can get the Fox to behave and understand what I want it to show ;P

I believe it's an issue with the underlying tech, not FF itself. FF passes all the tests except in fringe elements, so should be fine. It does look to me like the desktop CSS isn't loading.

Reproduced on FF 24.6.0 ESR, Windows 8.1, right now:

Right, so it's thinking it's the wrong user agent I guess, and being set as the mobile css... hum.

[bazbt3]

FWIW (I'm not pushing for a fix) I installed a user agent switcher and Firefox (now 30.0) still fails to render the page correctly even after deleting all history/cache/cookies...
Again FWIW, Chrome renders the main content first with a 'visible' delay before rendering the sidebar.
Not sure I'm being helpful now.

It's all down to this. Partially. http://red-team-design.com/firefox-doesnt-allow-cross-domain-fonts-by-default/

Thanks for the update. Given the standards-compliance browser developers usually trumpet, security-related design choices like this are just perverse for the average user (me.)

And literally everyone else.

Yep, I am on the way on fixing that at this second ... a big debugging is needed so that will be applied to the production server soon :)
But its a Server sided part in terms on Settings :) Not related to Alpha at itself … as I found out :)
