My site looks fine in IE and no matter which of the default Drupal 4.6 themes I install, it looks like complete crap in FireFox as if it isn't reading the style sheet correctly. Is this a known issue and if so how do I corrcet it?

Thank you for your support in advance,
Robert

I use firefox myself, and haven't experienced the problem you have. Have you had the same problem with other sites? Does it happen to your site only, or other Drupal sites as well? Maybe it's your particular system that's the problem?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

Answers to the above questions:

1) Only happens to my site and not others. I checked some of the sites posted here in the forums and they all work great.

2) My URLs do not have ending slashes; however, I'm not installing into the base directory currently. I'm installing to http://www.mydomain.com/blog as my base URL. Could that be the reasons since the CSS call is written as:
style type="text/css" media="all">@import "themes/bluemarine/style.css"; /style

3) No change on a shift reload.

Drupal uses the <base> tag to let the browser know where you installed in. Check that tag in the HTML source.

If the other tips don't pan out, here is one more thing to try. Add this line to your .htaccess file:

AddType text/css .css

Check if the base url in your settings.php file is correct: it should not end in a slash. Otherwise, check the source and see if you can spot anything odd about the stylesheet declaration. IE is more forgiving about errors than Firefox.

In addition to the other comments, be sure to try a full reload of the page: Hold down the Shift key while clicking the Reload button.

sorry I looked all over ... what is yur url? Lets taka look atit.

Without seeing if it does the same when I view it i guess you have corrupted firefox video file. Reinstall firefox. If you run scandisk and fix errors don't delete .chk files. ? why? they might be on top of bad sector.

When people access my site in Firefox, they see all sorts of weird black diamond shapes with question marks in them.
Some IE users have complained that my site tries to send them some com object.
Is this some sort of virus? Or is this a Drupal problem?

I personally see no problem in IE or Firefox.

I added the .css type to .htaccess.

My site is http://foothills.m0nde.com

I've found this happening to me sometimes. In my case it was because I was drafting content in Word (for the spell-chack ;-) ) and copy-pasting into the website. Word is set up by default to use 'smart quotes' to prettify your quotes in Word documents. Unfortunately they don't appear to be a standard character so Firefox doesn't know what to do with them and displays a black diamond with a question mark. It might happen with other characters but the smart quotes has happened to me.
