The course page isnt showing up AT ALL properly. (See screen grab below)

Im really shocked by this. Its repeatable on several MACs (and all our several thousand users will be using MACS when we launch early next year)

Dom,

The fault is not in Firefox or Moodle as such, its almost guaranteed to be in your theme.
And probably in header.html (or at least that's the first place I'd look).

Probably a table 'tr' or 'td', or a 'div' is not closed properly,
or the nesting of such is wrong (an outer one closed before an inner).
It is very easy to get into this problem because the php / html is rather fragmented in many header files.

Hope this helps,

John

The problem most likely isn't replicated on PCs because they're set at a lower resolution. If you resize your FF for Mac browser window things will probably look fine as well.

The problem here is almost certainly the theme. Either it was poorly constructed to begin with or there's a missing close tag somewhere in the HTML.

I suggest you install the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. Then right-click and choose Web Developer > Tools > Validate Local HTML. I'm willing to bet that you'll find one or more HTML errors that — when corrected — will "fix" the issue.
