Firefox suddenly changes to very basic text only view

When I'm on the internet e.g. doing shopping on Ocado.com the internet suddenly changes to a very simple text only type of layout (i'm no tech whizz - it looks like a word document rather than an internet page?) I don't know whether this is Firefox or something else on my new laptop. Please can anyone give me a tip?
Thanks

thank you! I will try that

Was on facebook and screen suddenly changed to very small print and fuzzy not clear, so I switched to another browser and it was ok on there

while scrolling thru my facebook page. The screen suddenly changed to very small print and blurred / fuzzy not clear. The whole page had changed the way it was showing. So I tried another browser and facebook page was working fine. Went back to firefox and still had issues.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Recently firefox loads LinkedIn home page as text only. Was no problem before I installed latest version and the page loads fine in Explorer and Safari.

See image.

Thank you for the screenshot. Something is preventing the style from loading.
There is an option in page permissions I would check first:
# Right click on the page and select "Page Info"
# Under Media make sure "Block Images from..." is not checked
Then check out: [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]
Mainly I would focus on the cache, as the cached page might be corrupt. To clear any corrupt pages it is possible to forget the site from the about:permissions page -> this is not recoverable.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Check on the Network tab if any content is blocked and has a file size 0 (zero).

Sudden Change to Slide Show Display/Presenter View Greyed Out

Two weeks ago powerpoint was acting normally. I would come into class, hook my netbook up to the projector, set my monitor output option to extended desktop and start my slideshow in presenter view. This morning I went into class and I was unable to use
presenter view. It was greyed out. I had to clone the displays and wing it without my notes. Also, the slideshow itself *looked* different. There was an orange menu bar at the bottom that I could not get rid of. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Michelle,
Do you mean the "Use Presenter View" option under "SLIDE SHOW" tab on the ribbon is greyed out for you?
When you are in the "Slide Show" mode, please try to right click on the slide and see if you can select the "Show Presenter View" from the context menu.
Have you ever made any changes to your computer recently? You might want to try installing any required updates, including updating your graphic card driver to the latest version, then try again.
"There was an orange menu bar at the bottom..." - Is it possible to share a screenshot of it with us? You can send the file to this email account:
[email protected] and inform us here (the email subject should be the link of this thread).
Regards,
Ethan Hua

Paypal will not display pictures (text only). Can not buy things on the internet. Can not upgrade flash in firefox.

3 problems: 1) I can't buy anything online. Firefox has a popup that states that all payment sites (Amazon, paypal, etc.) are forbidden and tries to protected me from them and blocks me (will not let me bypass the block). 2) Once I figure a work around the block Paypay shows as text only (shows all content on internet explorer) 3) try to upgrade adobe flashplayer as suggested in a forum and adobe flash can not upgrade when firefox is open. Been on firefox for several years now why the sudden ultimate security?

Quite honestly, I think you need to go back to Flash 10.3.183.90, a version that was kept alive specifically for WinXP users. The Flash 11 and later versions have a separate plugin container that isn't available for anything below Win Vista with feature you can't even use. I see no advantage to anything newer and on the down side the newer versions are a lot more likely to crash frequently.
First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Then download Flash 10.3.183.90 from here - about halfway down the page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
(Released 6/11/2013) Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (61.1 MB)
IMO, the best version of Flash for WinXP. Adobe kept up with security updates for 10.3 for WinXP users long after Flash 11.0 came out in 2011 for Vista and newer versions of Windows.
Run the uninstaller, then reboot your operating system.
Then you can run the Flash installer, with Firefox closed, of course.
''Note, if you still use IE, you'll need to reinstall the ActiveX version of Flash for IE. That uninstaller removes all versions of Flash that might be installed,''

Very basic questions on text/email

So I'm now convinced - with the 3.0 OS and the 3GS handset, the iPhone finally does all I want it to do and I'll be buying my first one in a couple of weeks.
Before I do, though, I have a couple of very basic questions:
1. Does predictive text only work in the SMS app, or does it work in the apps for email, writing notes, etc?
2. Can you turn the predictive text off? (I find it wildly irritating, because I know far better what words I want to write than a pesky phone does!)
3. Having email sent to a mobile is a whole new world for me! Do I need to subscribe to MobileMe at £££ per month, or is there another way of having email from my three accounts forwarded to my mobile?
Hope someone can help!
Cheers,

1. Does predictive text only work in the SMS app, or does it work in the apps for email, writing notes, etc?
It works with Safari, the Mail client, the Notes app, and with the SMS app.
2. Can you turn the predictive text off? (I find it wildly irritating, because I know far better what words I want to write than a pesky phone does!)
Yes.
3. Having email sent to a mobile is a whole new world for me! Do I need to subscribe to MobileMe at £££ per month, or is there another way of having email from my three accounts forwarded to my mobile?
You can access any IMAP or POP account with the iPhone's Mail client, and access multiple email accounts. I currently access to email accounts with the iPhone's mail client - my MobileMe account, and a business POP account. You can access all 3 of your email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client.

E-mail "Inbox" of old messages have all changed to text only after Norton scan?

Hi,
Last night I did a full Norton scan of my computer and this morning found that all the "Inbox" messages "prior" to the time of the scan seem to have been changed to text only with various other codes and symbols but without the correct text formatting and any graphics. With these old Inbox messages the address and subject lines are also now empty as is the "To:" and "From:" In fact the whole space where these should appear now simply says "subject". There are also no graphics in the actual message area merely text and symbols. This has only occurred on my POP3 server Inbox. It hasn't happened to my other e-mail address which is an IMAP server. Nor has it affected the "Sent" nor "Archive" message boxes for the POP3 server system. Any new incoming e-mails I've just received this morning and post the Norton scan are ok however.
Is there someway I can recover or re-configure these old Inbox messages from what appear to be text to presumably HTML with the correct subject lines and text/graphics formatting which seems to have been lost since the Norton scan?
Many thanks.
Bob

Did Norton find anything in the Thunderbird profile. It sounds to me like it has quarantined your entire inbox, something Norton is very good at and the people and Norton are totally unapologetic for. Their attitude is they saved you, you should be grateful that they deleted a great load of your mail.
Personally I voted with my feet. No Symantec product get installed on any device I have anything to so with. I consider them as bad as the virus they are supposedly protecting me from.

Basic Information App (Text Only)

Hi all, I have seen a few apps that i find very useful but also very basic as they are only text based, exactly what i am looking to produce, when you open the app it gives a menu, For example Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 etc all going down the screen in a list, when you click on the Chapter button it then opens up that chapter which i can now read the text and has a back navigation button to return to the menu, i'm sure this isn't terribly difficult to do, probably the most time consuming part will be me writing the text i want people to be able to read so it would be grateful if someone could explain how to do this in Xcode 4 or direct me to a good online tutorial that will help me achieve this.
Many Thanks

Many Thanks for that, i've gone ahead and posted it in the developers forums

How can i use text only instead of text plus the folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar; older firefox allowed this.

I prefer using text only instead of text plus a folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar because it used less space and I can display more bookmark folders in that toolbar. Is that possible in Firefox 4.0? It was possible in the earlier versions of Firefox. If it is possible in Firefox 4.0 how do I do that? Thank you.

First install the "Stylish:" extension then you have thousands of styles available to choose from, most consist of only a few lines, and you can modify them to suit yourself.

External hard drives suddenly changed to read only

Three of my external hard drives suddenly changed to read only. These hard drives have been working on my macbook pro for months. When I click on get info 'read only' shows up and there is no lock icon nor is there a window that shows name | permissions, also in disk utility the 'verify disk premissions', 'verify disk', 'repair disk', and 'repair disk premissions' buttons are ghosted and I can not select them. I have not made any changes to my computer and I have read many other posts and have not been able to find a solution.

About a hundred times with no luck. Some of my research is leading to Western Digital, there may be a problem with the drives' 'smartware' software. I've been using this drive for months and I never used the 'smartware', but I tried it anyway with no luck. I just remembered that four days ago I had this drive plugged this drive into an Iomega wireless storage device and it seemed to work fine. Now the wireless storage device can't find the drive at all. I just need to know if there is a way I can change the permissions back to read/write, otherwise I will have to buy another drive and transfer all the data to the new drive and re-formatt the wd drive.

How do you change the background color & font in a text-only popup?

It has been ages since I did this and I can't seem to remember how. I tried to edit the style sheet but it only has options to change the text-only popup hotspot/link and I need to change the background color and font style within the popup itself. Tried Adobe's help but it had no answer for me. Any one out there know how to do this? I am running RoboHelp 7.

By Popup do you mean a link that when clicked causes a separate topic to be displayed in a seperate window (popup) or Drop Down text?
For Popups that are displayed in a new window then the font and colour is changed in the topic that is displayed. Simply open the topic and change colours / features as required
If you are using drop down text and confusing this with a popup then the font and colour is changed when creating the drop down text. Right click the text and select Font to change colour etc.

I just updated Firefox to 6.0, and suddenly certain parts of the text which used to be in English now display in Devanagari, the font used in Hindi. How do I get it back to English?
