Without knowing what the specific URLs are it's hard to be certain, but
I'd suspect bad html on the remote sites. Have you tried running them
through the W3C html validator (http://validator.w3.org) and sending the
results to the site maintainer(s) of the problem pages?

I do not think the problem is the sites as I do not get the same problem
on my laptop using the same Firefox.
The sites are
http://www.sportsgamer.com/forums/forum966/
and
http://forums.cmt.ca/boards/index.p...115b850&act=idx
when you reply to a thread
Thanks for the help though.

In that case, I'd try Firefox in safe mode to see if it works that way.
If it does, disable any extensions one at a time to see if you can
isolate where the problem is.

Does the same thing in safe mode.
It is not a big problem even though I prefer not to use IE to check the
CMT Canada Forums.
I had a problem like this before but it just went away by itself.
Thanks for the help though

Ok, try creating a new profile and see if it works there.

I am on my laptop now and the missing left happens on the CMT Canada
messageboard on certain threads before replying in it but not on
others and also, not on the reply of the thread that it does it.
Strange
I prefer not to create a new profile unless there is a way to create
one without deleting the old one.
Thanks
Dan

Yes, you can have as many profiles as you want. Start firefox with the
"-ProfileManager" switch and you will get a menu of your existing
profiles and an option to create a new one.

since the OP is using windows, the best way is to close FF, then click
on the windows start button, then run, and enter, exactly:
firefox.exe -p
this will start the FF profile manager
