Web sites are displayed as simple text, no formatting
Hi everyone,
For the past two days, some web sites - not all - show up as simple text, no colors, no formatting, no images.
I've uninstalled and re-installed Firefox several times, to the latest as well as older versions. I've uninstalled java, cleared the cache, removed cookies, nothing helps.
Also, when I try the plugin checker (itself displayed as plain text) it says it's an older version of Firefox, even when I downloaded and installed the latest 48.0.2. This is on a 64-bit Windows 7.
Attached are two images, what I get in Firefox, and the website displayed correctly on IE.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.
- Clear the Cache and

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). While you are in safe mode;

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe websites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
Hi FredMcD, you solved my problem, thanks ! Starting in Safe Mode did it, I checked the extensions, and finally discovered that AdBlock Plus was at fault. Reinstalling AdBlock fixed the issue on Slashdot, but not on other sites. But now I know where it comes from.
Thanks again, Joao
AdBlock should only be blocking ads and pop-ups.
Load the web page. After the page is loaded, click the down arrow next to the AdBlock icon. Now select Disable on <website>. Reload the page.
Forum; AdBlock Plus Forum {web link} https://adblockplus.org/ Homepage
Thanks for the link, I'll submit this to the AdBlock community.
I had the same issue as Joao had with AdBlock when logging on to Ancestry.com, and found that disabling PrivacyBadger solved the problem. To report it, I was forced to establish an account at GitHub...Not what I wanted. I'm techie, but not THAT techie. So no report was made to PrivacyBadger. I will just uninstall PrivacyBadger. don't need this. Thanks to the previous posters for their help in solving this. I knew it had to be a Firefox issue because Ancestry loaded fine with Chrome as the browser.
Try posting here; https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17 Someone may pick it up.
And don't forget. When you are running Firefox, Firefox is not the only program that is running. There are also the add-ons.
