Pages only partially loading
I have Firefox Quantum 59.0.3 (64-bit) on a Windows 8.1 desktop PC. I have noticed that not all the windows on some web pages are loading correctly in Firefox but do load correctly in IE11. Attached is one example from today. From this you can see that using IE11 there is a section 'Your Details' that is completely missing from the Firefox screen. As this is a screen to do online voting it was very obvious that something was missing. I cannot find any questions to do with this issue in version 59 hence my submission.

Make sure you are not blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}

Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Removed Flash Player and then reinstalled it for Firefox. Problem still there. Didn't understand part about install Active X for IE and plugin for Firefox, sorry. Onboard graphics driver updated, problem still exists. Safe mode solved the problem but an inconvenient solution every time a site does not display some part. Tracking protection had kicked in and there was a shield icon. Pity this function does not display a more obvious message that blocking of page content has occured. Disabled tracking protection for this secure known site and problem solved. Thank you for your time and effort, well done.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or it could be Hardware Acceleration. How to disable Hardware Acceleration {web link}
Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.
I disabled hardware acceleration, all extensions, add ons and plugins. Problem persists. The only solution was, as I previously advised, to disable tracking protection for this secure known site and problem solved. I will stick with this solution.
That was very good work. Well done.
