This is the URL of the fellow with the FoxFire problem and his comments
I apologize. I should have given you the website to view. The site is as

follows:

http://home.comcast.net/~dhcs01

You will note that the blue Title Text (It's WordArt) shows when using IE 6 but does
not show when using Firefox 1.0. The Title Text does not appear to have been
converted to a gif format.

David, I looked at the site with Firefox 1.0, and neither the Title Text or
the banner displayed. Instead I had an error message "Additional plugins are
required to display all the media on this page." There was a place to click
to download the plugins where the globe is beside the Title Text and the
banner. When I clicked to download the plugin, it said that I needed
Macromedia Flash Player 7.0. The download and installation of the plugin
stalled, so I can't say that would fix the problem or not, but perhaps it
will give you a clue as to what is going on.

The site is a FrontPage site, not a Publisher site.
FrontPage coded that with XML/VML.
Which FireFox doesn't support, it's an IE thing.
He should dump that text imo. It's a sharp looking site that gets ruined by
that WordArt text. It's kinda like having the perfect tailored new suit and
then going with holey rotten tennis shoes.
But it they're in love with it then they should convert the WordArt to an
image in what ever program they did the WordArt in and then use that in
place of it, or just turn off the XML and VML stuff in their FrontPage
settings and regenerate the code and see if FrontPage finds a more FireFox
friendly solution.
Or just hit up the FrontPage MVP's.

I use microsoft publisher 2003. I have received several messages indicating
that my site cannot be seen using Foxfire. What can I do about this?

The URL provided goes to a site built with FrontPage, not Publisher. As per
Pub 2003 sites, they are designed to work best with IE, and have only
limited cross browser support, including FoxFire. Not much you can do about
it...sorry.
