My companies website only displays correctly in Internet Explorer's Compatibility View. Is there any way I can get it to work correctly in FireFox?
My small business uses JustHost to host our website.
I recently switched to Firefox from Internet Explorer, and found that the website doesn't display properly. I looked back onto Internet Explorer, and found that it was only displaying properly on that because of Compatibility View.
I've looked through the admin section of the website for any way to fix this, but I can't find anything. This is quite a problem, as it means any potential customer viewing our site without Internet Explorer won't be able to see it properly.
Is there any way of updating the website so it can be viewed properly in Firefox?

"Compatibility View" is a crutch for IE users, from the days when Microsoft thought they controlled the internet and had their own "standards".
You have some fixin' to do. All it might take is a tweak to the main CSS file, but it may take more than that.

Floats are a bit tricky. When you do not set widths, different browsers may improvise. Firefox wants to keep the phrase "The Professional Application of Fire Safety Standards" all on one line. To fit it next to the headline, you can try setting style="width:200px" on that paragraph, or put in breaks yourself.
This can also be caused by a missing clear rule.
@-moz-document domain(www.turnbullfiresafety.com){ #menu { clear:both; }}
Add code to the userContent.css file.
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
