Firefox problem on just my PC
 
1 Attachment(s)
On my own PC im having issues displaying just one website, that website being Ebay. As u can see by the image ive attached its all over the place.


Now i think its a plugin issue but i cant track it down, ive tried disabling all and re enabling one by one and the issue doesnt rear its head and then bang.

Anyone have any ideas?

try a different DNS server. I do not think the issue is your browser. I seen this on different sites and its always rectified itself eventually

Have you tried restarting Firefox with add-ons disabled to see if the page works correctly?


Also try clearing the site cookies.

I dropped Firefox and moved over to the new Opera when quirks like this infuriated it me once too often.

I'd keep away from Opera it was bought by the Chinese.

I moved to Vivaldi which is made by the original owners of Opera.

do you have other users on the PC, login as one of them and see if it happens, or create another firefox profile and try that.

ctrl-shift-del to delete all temp files?

you could try the developer edition

https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/developer/

or waterfox,
https://www.waterfox.net/

or palemoon
http://www.palemoon.org/
to see if they have same problem, they're based on firefox

Yes if all addons are disabled it works fine but doesnt solve my issue.

Then it is one of the addons causing the issue. Enable each one in turn until the issue starts again and you'll have the addon causing it.

I wasn't meaning test the addons as you enable them in turn. Check if ebay access is OK each time.

did you delete all the temp files? It sounds like a left behind file which isn't being updated, or something in your firefox profile has got corrupt, most likely to do with an add on.

try a new firefox profile, no add ons, plain vanila firefox see what happens, then add the add ons one by one, you can always export/import bookmarks etc.

Found the culprit. It was an addon called Disconnect that blocks adverts and since there are so many on ebay it caused the page to load as i showed.

Have you not tried Ublock? I thought that was the go to adblocker now.
