Hi,

I know there are similuar questions on the support site but no solutions worked for me. Other Browser load my Website fine, just not Firefox.

Im creating a local website with two stylesheets. One mostly finished and one for testing. I use Firefox to switch between these alternate stylesheets.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="D:\Users\****\Desktop\****Website\style.css" title="Stil No.1">

<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="D:\Users\****\Desktop\****Website\style.css" title="Stil No.2">

On my Computer Firefox wont load the CSS file, on other computers in school it does.

I have the latest versions of Edge, Chrome and Firefox

Thanks

!!!EDIT & FIX!!!

I fixed it myself. Apparently Firefox cannot cope with me giving the full link of the css file....

Instead i used .\style.css which now works fine

Note that you need to use forward slashes in links (./style.css or simply style.css if the file is in the same folder as the HTML file).

Firefox doesn't know about the Windows file system and you would have to use the file protocol (file:///d:/). To see the exact link open the file in a Firefox window.
