This is outside my "expertise" but a few things that might help others.
Can't get anything on your Home Page except a yellow page but via Google>Home page>Cache>Text only, I can get the information off the page.
Via Google I can also open the Contacts and Valuation pages in normal form.
I need to fix the problem for others who wish to access the site, June visits numbered 35,000
I ran a validator on your site and these are the results: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thestewartsinireland.com%2F
It seems to be a problem with the Style. Hit ALT to get the text links at the top and then click "View", then "Page Style" and choose "No Style". The page displays in that configuration albeit without the content centered and without the yellow background.
Incidentally, in IE8 the "bagpipes.wav" audio doesn't start.
Thanks for your swift rerply.
I am aware that the Bagpipe wav is inactive, this was done deliberatly as for some visitors it was annoying.
I opened teh Stylesheet, pressed alt, then view, all this is showing is the status bar nothing else,
Cannot find the Page Style or is this under the letter P
Can you please expand on you suggestions.
I have copied the AStylesheet details below for you
body { text-align: center; background-color:#FFFF00

I downloaded an older version of Firefox 3.6 The web pages opened properly.
I would prefer to have the pages opening in the latest version.
Viewers would be unable to access my Email address for comments etc.

I think you are missing the point here. You can open it properly with Fx3.6 but many visitors, like alan_r with Fx5, still can't.

You are missing a DTD (Document Type Declaration) on your webpages, and while earlier versions of Firefox were more forgiving of that, Firefox 4.0 and later versions aren't - as are many other browsers that are starting to support HTML5 standards. With HTML5 coming into more common usage, the Quirks Mode is less reliable as a "fallback".

This topic may be above your head, as it is above my head to a lesser degree, you need advice from people who have better knowledge of exactly what you need to fix or add to your web pages.
Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

Make that a proper EMBED tag if that is your intention.
