Has anyone had any problems with Mozilla not rendering pages correctly? It works fine for me on virtually every site except the Gentoo homepage, so I assume this is an issue with it rendering pages generated by XML - but then again I am a bit of a newb so I could be way off...

I have tried re-emerging Mozilla and libxml however it has not made any difference. It is a random thing as well as occasionally the Gentoo homepage will be fine - but if I refresh or click on a link, it garbles again.

Anyone have and suggestions?

Yes! I have this problem too... everytime I've asked about it no one can confirm my problems... To make things weird, if I try using a browser that embeds mozilla, like galeon or nautilus, gentoo.org works fine. I have the same problems with mozilla on the win32 platforms too... It's good to know that I'm not in my own little black-hole world of a bug.

Hehe, yes tsuru, it is reassuring when you find someone that has the same difficulties :lol:

Now if only we can figure out what the cause it. I will let you know if I have any success. Good luck!

Okay...I think you need to delete your ~/.mozilla directory then start mozilla again...

you might want to just rename your ~/.mozilla dir first... just so you can then transfer the bookmarks.html and any other files you find that you need...

hope that helps :)
