This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: Field groups from the wrong post type are appearing on my form.
Solution: Be sure to set the post types for each field group in the field group editor, then create forms once the field groups are applied.

Hi, it looks like your field groups for Directories, Mentors, and Organizations are set up to be applied to All Post Types. When you edit each field group in Toolset > Custom Fields, you can choose which post types each field group will be applied to. I suggest you edit each of these field groups and choose specific post types for each field group, so that the Form builder will be aware which fields should appear in Forms for each post type. Then when you create a Form for a specific post type, the unnecessary fields will not be included.
Let me know if that does not solve the problem here. You may need to generate a new Form for the field assignments to take effect.
Okay great, it sounds like the fields issue is mostly resolved. I suspect the Form visibility behavior you've described is more related to User login status than it is to browser type. I am unable to see a form here, and I am using Chrome:
hidden link
I suspect you were logged in as an administrator in Chrome but not in the other browsers, hence the difference you saw on the front-end. By default, guest Users are not allowed to create posts using Forms. The entire Form will be hidden in this case. To customize those capabilities, you can use the Toolset Access plugin to manage permissions per User role, per Form. Go to Toolset > Access Control > Toolset Forms tab to adjust the capabilities matrix for each Form function / role combination. You can see the Access Control settings for an example site in the screenshot here - roles below the "Author" level are not automatically granted access to create posts with Forms. If you have additional questions about managing permissions for Forms, I suggest we split off a separate ticket to discuss that in more detail.
