I have just started using Firefox at home, and the Wikipedia pages have an odd
appearance, as if the frames or CSS were not correct.
Neither of the browsers that I have used in the past, Mozilla and Internet
Explorer, are showing this odd appearance, nor does Firefox at my office. I am
running Firefox under Windows XP, Service Pack 2. Any ideas about the peculiar
appearance, as described following this paragraph? I am not having trouble with
other complex pages in Firefox at my home, for instance NOAA (weather) pages
such as
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/MapClick.php?site=pqr&smap=1&textF…
.
Detailed description:
en.Wikipedia.org main page today starts out with a screen-width "frame" (or
whatever it is; I'll continue to use this term, without the quote marks)
stating: "Thanks to everyone who donated in the Wikimedia Foundation
fundraiser!" and so on.
Under that is a screen-width Welcome to Wikipedia frame, with the welcome on the
left and the portals on the right. Under that are two (approximately)
half-width frames, with Today's Article followed by Did You Know on the left,
and In The News and On This Day on the right.
Under that is a screen-width frame for Today's Featured Picture (image on the
left, text on the right). Under that are unframed full-width "paragraphs" for
Other areas of Wikipedia, Wikipedia's sister projects and Wikipedia languages.
Under that, in succession, are Views, Personal tools, Navigation, interaction,
Search, Toolbox, Languages, and legal information (disclaimers, GNU and the
like) -- those items that are supposed to be to the left of the article.
Why are they at the bottom? Is there a Firefox setting that I have wrong? Any
other ideas? Thanks for your assistance!
