    Hey Chynna,

    It's because you have 2 background image declarations in your CSS.

    This one is ok - it works and it is in your style.css (where it should be!)

    #header {
        background: url("images/header.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
        margin: 0 auto;
        min-height: 250px;
        width: 100%;
    }

    This one is bad - it doesn't work and is flagged with !important, so it is overriding (properly) the "right" one in firefox

    #header {
        background: url("/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/header2.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent !important;
    }

    This one that is bad points to an image that doesn't exist AND it is in the html of your theme - just inside the closing </head> tag. You need to find what writes this and remove it!

    Also - unless you want your logo repeating across the top, you might want to change that first bit of css to include no-repeat....

    #header {
        background: url("images/header.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
        margin: 0 auto;
        min-height: 250px;
        width: 100%;
    }

    or if you wanted it right aligned...

    #header {
        url("images/header.png") no-repeat scroll 100% 0 transparent
        margin: 0 auto;
        min-height: 250px;
        width: 100%;
    }

    genesis 2.0 is overwriting your header css with this
    http://alliechynna.com/:67
    #header {
    background: url(http://alliechynna.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/header2.png) no-repeat !important;
    }

    This happened to me, too. How do I go back to 1.9?

    I had to FTP to my host and uploaded a backup of my Genesis folder. The location to upload your Genesis folder backup is: FTP is: /public_html/*yourname*/wp-content/themes/genesis. This overwrite the content of the Genesis folder that contained the newly updated Genesis 2.0.

    or

    Use a copy of the ‘genesis.1.9.1.zip that you may have downloaded and upload it via FTP.

    i deleted this out of my decor theme functions.php

    /** Add support for custom header */
    add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 1140, 'height' => 140 ) );

    updated to genesis 2.0 and that did the trick with my header issue
    genesis 2 is perfect now
    thanks
