That is the background from the web site.

From the looks of the scroll bar on the right, the page is loaded, not shown.

That is the background that the bettycrocker.com site uses. If you only see the background and not the actual content this means that content is blocked. I can see that if I disable JavaScript on the http://bettycrocker.com/recipes page. There are a lot of JavaScript files loaded (I see 61 request in the Network tab in the Web Console), so make sure that you aren't blocking any of these.

Make sure that JavaScript is enabled and isn't blocked.

  • The javascript.enabled prefs should be true on the about:config page

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
