Have you tried the simple "Hello World" thingy in the preview, just to see whether it works or not? If its rendering tables (albeit broken ones) then its sort of working - your page may simply not be Firefox friendly.
The inline preview won't be 100% the same as 'proper' Firefox, but should be very close.

Yes, I have tried the "Hello World" thingy and it shows, which doesn't surprise me. It's another story to render a complicated website. I have downloaded and installed the latest Firefox version and it doesn't make any difference in the "inline" view.

As to my website being Firefox "friendly", I have mentioned a couple of times that it shows perfectly fine when I use the Tools --> Preview in... method.

Thanks,

What components make up this website? ie, does it include PHP, a bit of JavaScript, CSS, includes, etc.

Just trying to see if you could peel back some layers until it works, so you can say, "Aah, I've removed the JavaScript, and now it works" for example.

Definetely sounds like a bug in the control, which although it can be worked around - as you can use the 'Preview in...' menu option - its a minor annoyance.

Yes, it includes several JavaScripts and CSS.

I can see text but it appears that the biggest problem is that it does not render any images at all.

Since the Tool--> option works fine, I won't bother with the inline rendering anymore. I'll just leave it as is.

Thanks for all the help,
