  • a TB thing? or a Synchronet thing?

    From August Abolins@1:153/757 to All on Sat Jan 15 09:12:28 2022
    When I visit a Synchronet bbs with Firefox/32bit, things seem to look normal:

    But when I use Firefox/64bit, the navigation buttons are something else:

    https://susepaste.org/32392315

    Is there a setting in FF/64bit that can rectify this?

    What's a TB thing? Telegram Bug?

    telegram isn't even in the same universe in this case and has absolutely nothing to do with the problem shown... this is a simple rendering difference between two different flavors of the firefox web browser while viewing a message using the ec4web app(?)... we're trying to figure out why the difference exists...

    he has asian characters on the buttons.

    I saw the screen shot, but I'm not seeing that behavior in FF myself.

    I haven't been able to look at these screenshots, but the width of the character could be causing a wrap. Could be particular to the size of the browser window.

    I'll try to remember to revisit this thread and track it down soon.

    My bad. When I started the message, I was thinking "Thunder Bird". But as I began writing about my dilema, I realized that I should have used the term Fire Fox. Meanwhile, I forgot to adjust the subject.

    I wish my OpenXP would have done that too. :(

    Yeah Thunderbird. I've used it before. A great open sourced mail program for Linux and other platforms.
