[Yeah dude, delete the browser cache…

Thanks, that was one of the first things I tried. no joy. But since you took the time to reply, I tried again. no joy.

Strange, I pulled out an old Laptop that has CentOS with Firefox on it and it displays correctly? It's just this new ubuntu box and firefox that seems to display the pfSense_ng incorrectly.

edit: just checked a few other theme options… in code red the same display occurs, help is dropped from the main menu line and shows under system. Under drop-down, help is gone from sight but exists under System if you hover... I called a buddy who runs pfSense and he says he is seeing the same on his ubuntu/firefox. Oh well, hopefully this is fixed in 2.2.1 or firefox 37

No, there's no such fix since the issue is 100% a cache issue for everyone so far. You clearly as special.

I came back a couple months ago (although technically to Netgate). It was fun experiencing urban ag, but ultimately felt I was better suited cultivating software :)

It's not all fun & games on the Pot Farm, you know.

maybe not all, but there are plenty of fun & games to be had ;)

installing the Tahoma font fixed the issue…
I probably won't be using the machine I set up in the garage all that much on my network maintenance but niggling little issues like this really annoy me. Sorry I wasn't more up on the issue's history.

Thanks, you guys are the great.

No worries. doktornotor experienced that bug first hand so I was a little surprised he had forgotten :)

People shouldn't run outdated versions… :P

I know… I know... but, but... it's all the core team's fault >:( j/k

I have my 2.2.1 box built but waiting for them to resolve jflsakfja's copyright (un)infringement for his surricata doc before I put it in production.

So I'm just being lazy and waiting for his cookbook.
and building a new ECM for the Ferrari
and modifying the tractor to cut an access road across my mountainside
and cutting an access road across the mountainside below my home
and learning to fly quadcopters
and going to doctors
and...
retirement is busy!

i had the same problem https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=85869.0
here is the Solution

http://makandracards.com/makandra/1258-install-the-verdana-and-tahoma-fonts-under-ubuntu-linux

Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, and similar “basic” Microsoft fonts are not included in a vanilla Ubuntu installation. You should have these fonts because many designers consider them to be universally available:

Arial, Verdana, etc:
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Tahoma:
wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/IELPKTH.CAB
cabextract -F 'tahoma*ttf' IELPKTH.CAB
mv -f tahoma*ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/
chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahoma*
fc-cache -v
rm -f IELPKTH.CAB
