Man. I've been trying for two days to get FCKeditor working because I like it so much more than the other options out there. I see a lot of people with similar problems to mine, but not a lot of answers.
Firefox was not loading my toolbars if I used the default set, but it was working for basic.
I found that there were certain buttons that caused problems Style, Font Format/Size/Face, Text Color/BGColor.
I finally figured out that this had to do with the mime type that my server was sending, so I added the following line to my .htaccess:
AddType text/xml .xml
This resolved the problem of displaying, but it turned out that was only part of the problem. It turned out that after I got the toolbars displayed, that FCKeditor never fully loaded - the progress bar was stuck almost all the way done and my memory usage was increasing slowly.
I resolved this problem with the following in my .htaccess file:
<FilesMatch "\.html$">
ForceType none
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.htm$">
ForceType none
</FilesMatch>
Like a lot of webmasters, I'm doing some funky stuff with mod_rewrite, parsing html as php, etc. It turned out that the things I was doing in my root directory were not compatible with FCKeditor.
In the end, this is what my /FCKeditor/.htaccess file looks like:
AddType application/x-javascript .js
AddType text/css .css
AddType text/xml .xml
<FilesMatch "\.html$">
ForceType none
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.htm$">
ForceType none
</FilesMatch>
The first two lines (having to do with .js and .css) I picked up from the htaccess.txt file as a troubleshooting step.
