Hi I've been using firebug to edit my files. I wanted to ask, why doesn't firebug show file location of a specific thing that i want to change on my page? I mean i can edit it just fine on Firebug, but If i cant see the file location, it's quite difficult to find it in filezila.

I was told this was javascript related, though i'm not exactly sure what that meant and if it is, not sure how look for that file on filezila.

And I am not sure what are you talking about... since nothing can be seen on those tiny images.

Sorry, I still don't understand this kind of basic questions (i.e. why are they asked).

Download your theme on your machine.
Get a normal text editor, e.g. PSPad is free.
Use the Search option in it to find "XXXYYYZZZ" string in a directory - like your theme.
It will list all the files with line #s, where the string occurs.
Edit.

Why do you need a whole forum to do such simple tasks? :p

Most likely the css is located on header.php or directly on the template itself (not on the .css file)

View the source, is there any css code "injected"? Usually on header.

If firebug gives you the URL as the location, that means that the css is in the <head> section of the document. You'll have to find what is putting it there. In your case, it's going to involve the Cufon text-replacement code. It could be in a plugin, it could be written into the theme, it's impossible to tell.
