My website www.auraltronics.com has a javascript menu that does not display at all on my laptop W7 - 64bit, Firefox5, yet it displays properly on other browsers, such such as Chrome, and IE. Also it displays properly on my desktop running XP and Firefox4

On my laptop I also see font display issues at other websites such as Grassroots.org

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).


Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
