A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Hi all,
I'm trying to make aware people of the recent Google movements to close gate the internet to their services and suggest to folks to move to Firefox.
One of my colleagues encouters this problem though:
and it doesn't happen in Chrome. Any ideas? It seems that it mostly happens when the font used on a page is sans-serif
Read different.
A little update: It happens on my mac as well, a lot less though!
And, for example, the Albert Einstein's page display perfectly fine.
If it's on a Mac, the two things I can think to try are boot without extensions enabled and see if it still happens and flush your caches using a tool like Onyx. Actually, you could also try and redefine what the default sans-serif font it too, just in case that has anything to do with it.
And finally, are you both on a network that might be running through a proxy server first? If so, maybe some protection feature they have turned on is mangling things.
Whatever it is, the smart quotes aren't being represented either in your default sans-serif font or whatever font it's trying to load.
