Firefox 3 displayed leading spaces in html text. Firefox 7 collapses adjacent spaces. How can I tell Firefox to display the leading and adjacent spaces?

You need to add some CSS code to restore the indention used in previous Firefox version.

Firefox 4 and later treat the DT element differently and that causes a quirk CSS rule (dl > dl) not to get applied.

  • resource://gre-resources/quirk.css line 220

Use this in Firefox 4 and later: 

<style>
dl > dt > dl { display: block; -moz-margin-start: 40px; }
</style>

I think this is the kind of solution I need to fix a similar problem. Please see this thread: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/881454#answer-254986

How do we apply a fix such as that?

Thank you for the help. I should have supplied more information. This file originated with Netscape Navigator years ago. I use Compass Bookmarks to maintain it. I am not an HTML coder. Here is a sample of the code from the file (the file is displayed correctly in IE 9.0 as well as Firefox 3.6.23):

How would this file be modified? I was hoping to find a setting in Firefox to fix this issue as opposed to modifying the HTML file.

Thank you very much.

Add the code that cor-el posted above the < Title > Bookmarks < /Title > tags. I just tested it on a NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1 file and it works.
