Update: when I put the CSS internally, the problem goes away. I went in the dev tools on my chrome and compared what was happening when I reloaded the page. First image is with internal CSS, the second one is with external stylesheet, you can see different results for the background-color property:
Initial post: I have no idea why this is happening, here's a demonstration. Basically, the a takes some time to appear fully on the page.
The time it takes to 'fully' appear is the same duration specified in transition: background 5s; as in 5 seconds.
Here's the same code on another page where the effect is not observed, I also opened it in the same browser.
Here's my code in Visual Studio and in Chrome, the same behavior is observed in Edge but not in Firefox, in Firefox it just loads as it should and the :hover effects work properly. All 3 browsers are updated to their latest versions at the time of writing.
This only happens when I link to an external CSS stylesheet. When I copy the css to the html file the problem goes away!!!
CSS
a {
color: #fff;
border: none;
margin: 20px;
padding: 10px 20px;
display: inline-block;
font: bold 18px sans-serif;
background: #fd7c2a;
text-decoration: none;
-webkit-transition: background 5s; /* For Safari 3.0 to 6.0 */
transition: background 5s; /* For modern browsers */
}
a:hover {
background: #3cc16e;
}

I solved the issue, been going through google for answers. The solution is to add <script> </script> opening and closing tags in the html file separated by space. Apparently its a bug in the browsers mentioned before.

Basically i have a webpage that i have scaled down using the "viewport" meta tag.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=0.25">
The issue is that Firefox renders ALL my curved borders really blurry.
If an element has the following CSS applied while being viewed from a Bugzilla mobile browser, the resulting borders are really blurry/pixelated.
.element {
font-size: 40px;
text-align: center;
border: 4px solid black;
border-radius: 40px;
}
#media screen {
.element {
font-size: 4vw;
}
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=0.25">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="element">
Lorem Ipsum
</div>
</body>
</html>

From what i've found online it seems Firefox has a long history of scaling based rendering bugs but this is the first time ive seen issues with curved borders.
I think this is what that is related to background bleed and you may probably find its reason in this discussion https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=921341
To answer your question which has already been asked in this thread div border radius problem (on firefox and opera)
I recommend you using these properties in your css regarding with the mentioned answer
-moz-background-clip
-webkit-background-clip
background-clip
For some reason, I have a code that is completely identical and it works fine when I test it on codepen, but it will not resize at all when I bring it to github for publishing.
The codepen is: https://codepen.io/daniel-albano/pen/ExaedBr?editors=1100
This is one extract of my CSS not properly resizing:
.mission2 p {
font-size: 1.5vw;
font-family: 'roboto';
padding: 4% 0% 0% 0%;
clear: right;
line-height: 1.4;
}
The actual website is located at: MFASP.com
I honestly have no idea what to look at for the cause of this, as both codes are exactly the same.
So I did a bit of digging and found the solution. I had not been used to using
meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"
this tag, but adding it into my html had allowed the browser to resize.
Based on the issue you are having, you need to add a viewport meta tag to your page head. This is most commonly <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">.
So your html would have the Doctype followed by something along the lines of..
<head>
...
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
...
</head>
I am following a tutorial in a book and it says to use CSS to set different background colors for the html and body elements. The body is capped at a max-width of 1020px, so the html background color will show on either side if the window is wide enough. Here is the CSS code for the background colors, the layout CSS is in a separate file:
html{
background-color: rgb(235, 177, 131);
background-color: hsl(27, 72%, 72%);
}
body{
color: rgb(91, 91, 91);
background-color: ivory;
}
I have tested this in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox and all three ignore the html style rule. However, when I specify the background color inline, such as:
<html style="background-color: hsl(27, 72%, 72%);">
Then it works. Does anyone know what might be going on here?
** EDIT **
Here is the beginning of the HTML file, you can see that I am linking the stylesheets in the head element:
<!doctype html>
<html style="background-color: hsl(27, 72%, 72%);">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="keywords" content="triathlon, running, swimming, cycling" />
<title>Tri and Succeed Sports</title>
<link href="tss_layout.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="tss_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
** UPDATE **
Found the problem. I was missing the semi-colon at the end of the #charset directive before the html style rule. This caused the browser to ignore it. Works fine now.
You could try creating a class like
.html {
background-color: red;
}
and then
<html class="html">
</html>
Also, here is a fiddle of your code, and pictures in Chrome, Firefox, and IE
Chrome:
Firefox:
IE (trashy browser on win7):
EDIT: I shrunk the body 4 times so I could show it works.
I've applied a css stylesheet to my view and it is not rendering when I view it. What's the problem here:
Edit: Works in Firefox 17, does not work in IE10 (something to do with my compatibility view? Not sure how to fix)

There seem to be two parts to the problem.
CSS
One part of the problem is related to invalid CSS. For example, border-top is the shorthand declaration for a combination of style, width and colour:
border-top: [width style colour]
With this in mind, I would change your CSS as follows:
header
{
border: 2px solid #0094ff; /* width style colour */
border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
border-top-style: hidden;
border-left-style: hidden;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 0px #000; /* x-offset y-offset blur colour */
}
IE / Compatibility Mode
If IE is coming through in compatibility mode, you're probably rendering using the IE8 (or older) engine. Unfortunately these do not understand HTML5, so things like the <header /> elements and border-radius and box-shadow CSS declarations are ignored. There are a couple of things you can try to fix this:
Add <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" /> to your <head /> element. This will tell IE that you want to use the latest rendering engine. See this page for more information on this.
Include a JavaScript library like HTML5Shiv (which is also included in the excellent Modernizr library as well). This allows older versions of Internet Explorer to at least recognise HTML5 elements like <header />. Be aware that it won't add CSS3 support though; things like border-radius will not work, but at least you'll get normal borders.
I have looked at this: Google Web Fonts don't work in IE8, and this: How to make Google Fonts work in IE?. Neither works for me. The first suggests not to import too many fonts at once, while the latter is out of date since the bug was fixed back in 2010.
The HTML is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Font Test</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="Google Fonts Test">
<link type='text/css' href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cantarell' rel='stylesheet'>
<link type='text/css' href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Play:700' rel='stylesheet'>
<link type='text/css' href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Muli:300' rel='stylesheet'>
<!--<link type='text/css' href='//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:900' rel='stylesheet'>-->
<link type="text/css" href="https://static.mysite.com/blah/font-test.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div class="page-title">
This Is Title
</div>
<div class="page-content">
This is content
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is the corresponding CSS:
body {
height: 100%;
width: 960px;
min-height: 550px;
max-height: 1080px;
margin: 20px 60px 40px 20px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAYAAAAGCAYAAADgzO9IAAAAKklEQVQIW2OceOe1cb6K6FkGJAASYwTxkSVhbLAETBJEw3Tjl8BqFC7LAdSSJR3onNbEAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) repeat;
}
.page-title {
height: 55px;
font: 38px "Play";
}
.page-content {
font: 16px "Cantarell";
width: 630px;
text-align: justify;
}
The above is tested in latest Chrome, which works fine. It however does not work in IE8 for some reason. Anything I am missing?
UPDATE: IE8 simply does NOT work with Google Fonts API. In fact, if I use IE8 to browse the specimen of many fonts on the Google Fonts API pages, none of them renders correctly. The only sure way to use these fonts is to convert them to EOT type (among with WOFF type), and serve them from your server, which is a shame because you cannot use Google's CDN anymore.
I'm confused by the other answers and comments so I'll just throw this out there. Whenever you use data uris, attributes or sets, you are venturing into an area IE does not fair well in by not supporting it or limiting it. Only modern browsers handle them correctly but I'm doing this from my phone and can't go into it any further. Checkout http://caniuse.com/#search=data
It’s not uncommon to have problems with some Google fonts on some browsers especially when used remotely (the way Google recommends). It often helps to download the fonts, generate the font files using e.g. FontSquirrel and then use them as uploaded onto your server.
