Hello Webmasterworld.

I have a problem i hope you guys can help me with. It is my first tread in here, and i can see by a little search on the forum, that there is a good voice in here. The problem is only on Firefox 64 bit, not 32 bit and not on Windows XP - but the font-size is bigger on 64 bit vs. the 32 bit solution.

Early found some problem in watching the site on mac.
[bastianallgeier.com...] This PHP/CSS Script was helping me there, and i hoped that the script also worked in this kind of problem, but it don’t :( Is there a way to link to another style sheet when using 64 bit and Firefox. I have also problems with IE, but again the script is helping me a lot here.

I know that the script is built on “php server side” and a bit javascript.

Also i have write a mail to the developer on this thing, but this is 14-20 days ago and no reply :(

Hope some can help me. Thanks

Peace and regards by Michael Bay from Denmark

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, mbs1337.

Content generated on the server via PHP will have little or nothing to do with the problem as it could be plain old hardcoded HTML, which is just what PHP is returning to your browser from the server anyway more than likely. Have you confirmed that it is not a local hardware or OS-specific issue? I ran into display issues once awhile back and it turned out that my workstation settings had been modified to show 125% resolution. Just throwing out some ideas :-)

Hmm...

Yes. I'm 100 procent sure. Can connect to 3 or more laptops, and 2 workstation. On those i can just install what OS i want, and it is when a plain OS running on a new system. No config at all! (Of cause drivers and so one)

It is bothering me ALOT! :(

Did you compare the user-agent being reported in your FF 64-bit browser with the available selections in the JavaScript to see if it matches any of them? You can use FireBug extension to Firefox to see your header requests and responses. LiveHTTPHeaders is another extension that will show this for you.

coopster. Thanks for the replay, but i found a solution with help from my danish friend (i come from denmark) - and we was modifying the "PHP CSS Browser Selector script" with server side, and then we get the browser to tell us which browser/os the user is on.

with this method, i can create a "firefox64.css" and a "firefox32.css" file and then another style sheets is being used. that is great! :)

if anyone has the same problems as me, you can use google translate to see this danish site and a solution
