Firefox scrambles Experts Exchange

I use Firefox as my internet browser. Unfortunately it makes a huge mess of the Experts Exchange web site when running on my laptop. On other computers it is OK.

Is there some setting I can change to correct this problem?

Check that you have the latest version of Java installed. Also update Firefox to the latest version or a newer version if you are running a fairly old one. If you still get problems try installing the IE tab add on and run EE in that and see if you have the same problems.

Thanks for the quick reply. It is the latest version of Firefox (2.0.0.10).

If I run EE in an IE tab then my FrontPage Installer launches with each new page (bizarre - I have asked a separate question about this).

How do I tell what version of Java I have (and how would I update it)?

OK - I found how to update Java in Control Panel.

So, my Firefox and Java are now fully up to date and it still scrambles the EE web site.

Do you have IE installed on your machine? If you do does it open ok in that? I assume you are running XP?

Yes, I have IE6. EE displays OK in IE6 but each page causes FrontPage installer to launch (I have a separate question posted about that).

(Yes, I am using XP Home Edition SP2.)
