The whole thing looked neat & clean earlier.
Note: The site still looks perfect in Chrome & IE 7 and IE 8.
Do I need to tweak something to make it look good in FF 3.5?
I’m experiencing the same thing. If anyone has any feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
Haha.
Clear your ff cache. The’re hiding it under Tools > Clear Recent History > Details. Same thing happened to me. Panic city because I just installed trunk bp. I broke out IE 8 and it was fine. OMG it looks ok in IE?! This just can’t be happening. I’ve taken a turn into some horrible alternate reality.
Got something to do with the new font handling, new render engine, new something I’m guessing.
@Burt:
Just cleared the cache. Now the fonts look bigger than they should normally be. Yep, the site looks nicer in IE8 & Chrome 
.
But this is really serious. Can someone fix this on priority? please?
PS: Shall I upgrade the theme on my 1.0 bp installation? Will it work?
I don’t know what to tell you then. I upgraded my themes also to the trunk version of the themes because I’m running trunk bp.
I’m almost positive this is a bug in FF3.5 and it’s understanding of shorthad “font” declarations.
This is fixed in the latest default themes in 1.0.2.
This is what you need to do:
Find the “html {” declaration in the CSS files, and look for the “font:” part. Delete it and replace it with this:
font-size: 11px;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
Then find the “body {” declaration, and replace the “font” part with:
font-size: 12px;
Do the same in both your WordPress and BuddyPress theme.
Yeah, I had this problem for a while with 3.5 (while in beta) and it was fixed after buddypress 1.0.
It’s all kinda hazy as to what the solution was in the middle of the WTF event. Upgrading to the current ver of bp’s themes and clearing everything out worked. I’d bet money on Andy though.
Did what the Creator said, worked charmly on my bbP theme.
While Andy’s solution will work, you can bet Mozilla is going to address this bug, so I wouldn’t really worry about it too much.
Hi –
Just upgraded to Firefox 3.5 this morning and yes, total panic city because I am using the Facebuddy theme. It is a total mess. Kind of like Harry Potter on the Night Bus squeezing through traffic in London. When I changed the themes to the default theme, it all went back to normal, and if I just tried IE 7.0 with the Facebuddy theme, all is as expected.
So I agree that this is a FF 3.5 issue. Not sure if I concur that Firefox will find and fix the bug immediately.

Basically the cause is that Firefox 3.5 has issues with shorthand font declarations that contain quotation marks. Deleting the quotes around the font names will help Firefox cooperate, however it may have negative impacts on older browsers that rely on them.
You can also split up the shorthand and use font-family: Lucida, Tahoma, serif as an example as well.
Thanks folks. I upgraded to latest BP and issue was solved 
Go Firefox. I wonder how many of my clients site are now “broken” because of this bug 
Thanks for the info J3
