473176 - This site extends (and enlargens) the browser about three screen lengths.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nick Lento]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5

I have visted the site with Safari, and with windows and it works fine.

There is something about Firefox that isn't working correctly with this site.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.simple use the current 3.05 firefox and enter http://www.state.nj.us/opra/
2.it's that simple....you'll see for yourself what the problem  is
3.
Actual Results:  
the page is enlarged and extended to the point of being useless and requiring that firefox be closed and restarted

Expected Results:  
it should have simply shown the page as the page is shown in other browsers.

I'm no techie.   I suspect that there is some simple compatability issue here that can be easily fixed by someone who actually understands this stuff.   

I just know that something is wrong with Firefox re this site (and on some other NJ state sites, but it's the same exact symptom)

PS  I reported a bug on the NY times site re Firefox a while back that evidently was subsequently fixed......thanks!!!

You're assuming everyone else gets this too, which is never guaranteed to be the case. When reporting something that looks bad, attach a screenshot so we can see what you do.

Sounds to me like you're zoomed and you don't realize it.
