Firefox doesn't display some text on certain pages.
I've noticed that on some pages, Firefox doesn't display certain text. I have the newest version of Firefox installed and my flash and java are updated. The text displays fine on Chrome and IE. Please see my example in the screenshots of the stevenson.edu webpage. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this problem or if there is some sort of plugin I am missing to display certain content? Thanks.

Thank you for the response. I have tried deleting the cache and cookies and I still have the same problem. Are you able to view that website correctly on Firefox?
