Kubrick and Firefox 1.1 Alpha

plucky:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511

(my string did not have the “Firefox/1.0.4”)

I have quite a few extensions installed, but I don’t see how any of those would alter the rendering of a page or the CSS. I’ve tried two different installs of Firefox 1.0.4, but they both have a similar set of extensions. Just for kicks, I’ll try a bare install of Firefox on another box, and see how that compares.

Well, I find it miserable to have to proceed this way, but how about a hack like this:

#footer {
padding: 0 0 0 1px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
clear: both;
}
body > #footer {
padding: 0;
}

This way, IE will only see and apply the “0 0 0 1” padding, whileas FF/Moz will override that with “0” padding.

(Not tested on IE, since it would require a reboot, but very positive this will work — it’s based on a suggestion given on another topic; tested on Firefox 1.0.4 though, with EditCSS, and it’s pixel-perfect WITH or WITHOUT the hack).

jcraveiro: Thanks for the idea! It seems like it should work based on my admittedly minimal understanding of css, but for some reason it had no effect on my site.

Can others give this a shot and see if it works for them?

Instead of below
body > #footer {
padding: 0;
}

You’d probably do
#page > #footer {
padding: 0;
}


Rather than trying to make a theme work for an alpha version of Firefox, shouldn’t we be trying to fix the alpha version of Firefox so that it renders the theme correctly? I mean, the WordPress Default Theme has worked correctly in all release versions of Firefox, so this sounds like a bug in the alpha release to me. And, it’s a bug that should be squashed before escaping to the wild (in Firefox v1.1).

alphaoide: Thanks. That did the trick! Fixes the issue in Fox 1.1 Alpha1 and introduces no problems for 1.0.4 or IE that I can see.

macmanx: I agree with your assessment. However, this issue has little traction so far in the Mozilla world and Gecko (the rendering engine) is in Beta with Firefox 1.1 Alpha — so it’s closer to final than you might expect. If you’d like to see this issue addressed, please vote for the bug linked below. (In the meantime, we’ve got a nice workaround!)

Folks, this bug has gotten pretty much no attention so far in the Mozilla world. Please vote for it if you’d like to see it fixed in Firefox 1.1.

Thanks.

Moving some of my customised Kubrick themes over to WP2 I came across this problem.

I didn’t notice the problem running Firefox 1.5.01 in a full-size window, BUT as soon as I RESIZED it – ARRGRHHH!

Adding the “#page > #footer” declaration worked though. Thanks to alphaoide and jcraveiro for mentioning them ??

I’m new to WordPress, and I am wondering where to apply this change. Which file, and where? Thanks much.

Nevermind! I got it. Thanks to all. Works perfect now
