Firefox Users Are Having Trouble Seeing My Blog

• Fix below •

√ Problem seems to be fixed, see Update II below.

A housekeeping note: Firefox users are having trouble seeing my blog. 


I do not have control over this—it is apparently a Blogger or Firefox problem. 

I have contacted Blogger. Hopefully it will be repaired shortly. I do not know how to contact Firefox. 

I have also removed left the original cloud background (which is what Firefox users were seeing beneath the text, making blog text well nigh impossible to read), and temporarily replaced it with a smooth cream background

To my readers using Firefox, I suggest you use any other browser, as none of the others I have tried (Safari, Explorer, Chrome, Stainless) seem to have this problem.

Please excuse the inconvenience.

Update I:

The problem seems to be intermittent with Firefox users—some users have trouble, some do not. Considering over a third of my readers use Firefox, this is an issue to me.

To anyone having trouble seeing my blog with Firefox, I would suggest you try out different browsers: You can find downloads for Safari here (I heartily endorse Safari, which I use), Chrome here (which I also recommend), Explorer here, Opera here, and Stainless here (for Mac Snow Leopard only).

Fix for this problem: 

The easiest fix for the Firefox users experiencing this problem is:

Go to the View menu—go to Page Style—select No Style.

Voilà!—a plain white background appears, with the text in black and links in default blue. Not as pretty as the regular format, but functional, and you can read all the text easily—which of course is the whole point.

If you are one of the (few) Firefox users experiencing this problem, I am sorry for the inconvenience. However, it appears to be a Firefox issue, not an issue with my blog (I’ve spent the whole afternoon troubleshooting it, to make sure it's okay).

Hope you enjoy my posts.

Update II — Dec. 20, 2010:

All on its own, the problem seems to have resolved itself. Yeay team!

If the problem recurs, please e-mail me. Thank you.
