Image disappears when resizing image in Firefox only!

When I scale down my window my profile picture disappears, instead of the media query swapping out the bigger picture for a smaller one. This only happens in the latest version of Firefox for Mac.

Hard to help when there's no code to check, and does this only happen in firefox or what?

The question topic isn't very indicative of the problem either.

There's quite a lot of references in the CSS I can't see in the html file so I'm not really sure which parts of it apply to that page.

As a quick note: Where are your head and body tags?

This website isn't posting my code properly. When I copy and paste my code it erases my body head and tags like you mentioned, and my css looks like crap, so unless I can give you guys a clear view of my code I will just delete this question. And Niclas I don't appreciate your snobby comments about how I choose to word my question seeing that you only have 4000 points and Im pretty sure you used the word indicative incorrectly.

Only trying to help, not looking to offend or get berated.

If you have such a problem with me, I'll just try to ignore your questions in the future, ok?

Maybe make a github site so that we can see it in action for ourselves.

This seems to be a problem only in Firefox. When viewing http://treehousewebsite.com/about.html in Firefox (38.0.5), the profile-picture disappears and sits out of the viewport, right of the header.

There are several ways I tried which fix this issue in Firefox, but I don't really know why:

  1. give the profile-picture class a clear property of left, right or both. or
  2. give the section which includes the "about me" text a clear property of left, right or both or
  3. Float the section which includes the "about me" text left or right.

Maybe Nick Pettit could help throwing some light on this issue.
