Recently I've been looking at my site with Internet Explorer and Firefox. Internet Explorer displays the Google Adsense ads but Firefox doesn't. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this as with the large number of Firefox users these days I'm sure I'm missing out on revenue?

you might want to try validating your html first and see if that gives you any clues

[validator.w3.org...]

The pages I'm talking about contain valid HTML code.

Is an adblocker installed, have you checked that Javascript is not disabled?

Do you have special arrangements with Google? The AdSense code itself makes the pages not validating at all.

I use Firefox all the time for browsing and I don't have any problems seeing the Adsense ads.

The first question should be, does Firefox show you AdSense ads on other websites?

I'm sure I've seen this problem referred to a few times on the forum - ads showing in one browser but not another, and I'm fairly sure that the common resolution is just to clear the cache and then restart the browser.

Edit: that's a good point from jomaxx - the above resolution would apply if it was a universal absence of ads - it may not work if your problem is site-specific.

Doesn't validate as what? Strict? My pages seem to validate with AdSense code on them, but I'm not going for Strict.

The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.
If this error occured in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.

This is one of the messages I get from the validator. Before I used Adsense I didin't get any messages at all.
