Is this just a Publisher recommendation? I use Master Page(s) on most of my sites and they work a treat (using WebPlus).

Do not use Master Pages. It is intended for print publications, not web publications.

For the best images, size and optimize your images in a third party image editing program before you insert them into the Publisher doc, and so they can be scaled at 100% (format > Picture > Size > Scale).

Alternatively, you can try: Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller Publisher Web pages:

but optimizing your images before inserting them gives better results. In some cases, importing the images is the best fix.

If you are using the navbar wizard to produce the navbars, then the bottom, horizontal navbars do not work in FF. You need to use either the vertical navbars, or replace the bottom navbars with hand built navbars.

Go to Tools > Options > Web tab. Uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PNG...". Perhaps switch Encoding to Unicode UTF-8 coding, and if that is what you are already using, try Western European (ISO).

Run the design checker under tools.

Download and install FF even if you don't want to use it for browsing. Then when you publish to the web, direct your output to your computer somewhere you can find it. Open FF, File > Open and browse to where you saved your files and open the index.htm file to test your html before you upload the pages.

Post the URL of the site, and we can make other suggestions about remaining issues.

My webpage shows up perfectly using Internet Explorer and all links work.

However, in Mozilla, no elements of the Master page display, no hyperlinks
work, and some photos look terrible (photos look great on Internet Explorer.

On the Mac, the home page displays properly, but no hyperlinks work at all
and the same two photos are terrible quality (one photo is good quality).
