I just upgraded Firefox to version 15.0.1 and now I am very angry. If line-height is not defined in css file, Firefox now adds extra space (I guess 1 px) between lines and websites looks ugly. Why do you do things like that?

Second problem. On my websites I use wysiwygbbcode script from http://www.jitbit.com

There is a textarea located in iframe. Now the coursour can't be placed in textarea anymore. This problem is not only on my websites but also on script's developer's website.

Some time ago similar problems developed Microsoft in Microsoft Explorer. Now Firefox ...

The second link is: If no programs can open websites, see the aptly named Firefox and other browsers can't load websites article I didn't say that programs can not open websites. I said that new version of Firefox adds more space between lines than before and more space than other browsers do if line height is not defined. New version also causes problems for forms inside of iframe.

This we app [ http://www.ipulpfiction.com/books/000DEMOS/reader/DEMO-MoleMenWantYourEyes.html ] worked perfectly in FF 14 [ image 1 ] but is totally screwed in FF 15.0.1 [ image 2]. I'm on a Mac.

The layers should be stacked over each other in ascending z-index order as per CSS. This seems to be true in the Aurora build also. Please repair whatever was broken in 15.0.1

Could you review the CSS warnings in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+j) and fix those issues? I think this one is potentially the problem:

Timestamp: 10/18/2012 4:25:08 PM Warning: Error in parsing value for 'src'. Skipped to next declaration. Source File: http://www.ipulpfiction.com/books/_bookReader/reader/cReader.css Line: 704

Timestamp: 10/18/2012 4:25:08 PM Warning: Found unclosed string '');'. Unexpected end of file while searching for closing } of declaration block. Unexpected end of file while searching for '}'. Source File: http://www.ipulpfiction.com/books/_bookReader/reader/cReader.css Line: 705

Due to the unexpected end of file, the positioning rules never get loaded.

You can see that the opening single quote is missing for the url on the svg line (Line 704 by the above count):

@font-face {
    font-family: 'AdobeGaramondProRegular';
    src: url('/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.eot');
    src: url('/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url(/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.svg#AdobeGaramondProRegular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

(Edit: I don't know the keyboard shortcut for the Error Console on Mac, but you might find it under Tools > Web Developer > Error Console.)

Hi tfetfe, I'm not sure whether you ever resolved your issue. If not, could you post a link to a page demonstrating the problem?
