Firefox 3 and Minor Issues

By Peter Boyd

As web designers, we always love new technology.  Of course, with every upgrade comes some minor issues.  So far, a few of our older sites need some minor tweaks to conform with the new Firefox 3 standards.

1.  Navigation Menus
On one site the padding / margin levels of our CSS menu where very tight to begin with.  Now in Firefox 3 it puts the menu on two lines.  The fix is simply making a few less pixel in paddings, but is a warning to all designers to not push the limits of padding inside a set width.

2.  Background Graphics
More peculiar is on another site the background graphic stops repeating horizontally at 50% of the total width.  Again, a pretty easy fix, but something to watch out for.

We will be fixing today and I am sure more are to come.  We will keep you posted, but all web designers should be checking their sites.
