Firefox space problem ( )
Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2006 10:54 pm
I recently reinstalled someone's pc after they got their connection cut off because the pc and/or laptop was infected and sending out a good deal of spam.
After much hassle with the isp, (who ask for a printscreen from the scanned pc to their abuse department by e-mail after they cut the connection
, and still stupid since you can fake it too easily) we got internet back.
Along with a reinstall of both laptop and pc I installed and recommended they use firefox as a less vulnerable browser.
Now comes the problem.
In IE everything is fine.
In Firefox however certain spaces are replaced by  
I checked around and it simply is the code for non-breaking space. I haven't found a reason why it should show up.
Now I think it's just because of how the people made the page but I wonder if I can do anything about it so they don't have to switch back to IE for that.
