I'm not sure if this is a windows 7 thing or just a firefox issue. If there's a better place to put this go ahead and move this.

 

My first assumption was that it was firefox.  I tried getting some help on their forums but havent had much luck so far.  Here's that thread for reference.

The gist of it though is that even after starting from scratch, new profile and everything, something is preventing the style sheet of certain sites.  Its very rare, but this is preventing me from getting the most out of firefox's customisability.

 

Sites like this look fine in chrome.

https://addons.mozil.../en-US/firefox/

 

But look like this in all the versions of Firefox I've tried. (beta 30, 29. 0.1, portable 29.0.1)

I currently have no firewall on (for testing purposes) so I'm out of ideas.

 

I'm hoping someone here might be at least able to rule something out. Is there anything on the windows side you guys can think of that could be causing this?

Looks okay to me with FF 29.0 under Windows Pro X64 8.1.1.

The i5.minus.com link you provided doesn't work. ib1igbVo19Ugws.jpg may be in a private area.

What does it look like if you start Firefox without any addons?

I may have fixed the link, at least it shows up on my end.

 

The site is still broken and looks the same any which way I can think of to open Firefox, (which if my link isnt working is just a bunch of barebones text) whether its in safemode without any addons, brand new profile, or reset to its default state.

 

Edit: it randomly started working again. Wish I knew why or if it was something I did on my end.

See the edit in my last post: the problem appears to be fixed. How, I have no idea. After bashing my head against a wall on this for a couple months now it suddenly works out of the blue.  I haven't changed anything in the past day so I still dont know what caused it or why it started working again, but I'll take it.

 

To answer your question though, at the time it still looked broken as shown in my screenshot when testing it with no add ons.  But assuming nothing happens to break it again it looks like I wont be needing help afterall Thanks
