Hmm. If you use the Web Developer toolbar to edit CSS, you see the styled page.
Only thing I really see offhand is a space between the opening parenthesis and http: in your @import URL for the stylesheet. You really shouldn’t need to hardcode the stylesheet addy either.
Unfortunately, I am at a loss relative to using the Web Developer toolbar. This is plain vanilla WordPress as it is first delivered. I can see other sites styled but not this one in Firefox. I would hate to rely on IE.
To see what I see, here is a comparison: http://durkes.com/wordpress/I_being/Problems/PageDisplayComparison.pdf
Thanks. I’m sure once I get going this will seem like a tiny issue but it’s vexing at the moment!

In the header.php replace:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );
</style>
With:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
That is odd. I use:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );
</style>
in my header (the same you seem to be using), and everything is great in Firefox for me.
Is it possible there are issues with installs of WP not in the root directory?
It doesn’t work for all hosts for some reason.
Huh. That’s good to know, in case I ever change providers and my styles quit working all of a sudden.
Well, I am not sure where find the header.php file with the code referenced. I have tried to hardcode the css location – no good.
I can see perfectly rendered wordpress sites in Firefox, just not mine.
I am sure it’s a pure “doofuss” error on my part as I am a real “untar and run it” kinda guy so any pointers would be very useful. Perhaps I will reinstall and see if that does the trick.
Thanks
I have posted this issue in the CSS forum and would appreciate any help there. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/36513
Thank you,

The header.php file is in the folder for the theme you’re using.
Is it okay to post my own similar rendering problem here? I tried the previous suggestion:
<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
@import url( <?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?> );
</style>
With:
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
But my photos on the blog still do not appear correctly. I am using this bit of code to get the text to flow around the picture. Perhaps that is the culprit:
.img-shadow {
clear: both;
float:left;
background: url(images/shadowAlpha.png) no-repeat bottom right !important;
background: url(images/shadow.gif) no-repeat bottom right;
margin: 20px 0 0 17px !important;
margin: 20px 0 0 8px;
}
.img-shadow img {
display: block;
position: relative;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #a9a9a9;
margin: -6px 6px 6px -6px;
padding: 4px;
}
The problem with stylesheets and firefox was that I did not have mime types set correctly. My hosting service added text/css. I discovered the problem when I validated my css.
Thanks for the help all.
