oh yeh - the cache - will look for how to do that

is that - clear recent history on the Tools menu?

nynor 05-17-2011 07:27 PM
maybe your firefox install is waxed.

i chose not to install the latest firefox because a couple of the add-ons i use all the time are not supported.

If stuff in FF is messed up, you might want to try and just download and reinstall FF from scratch.

Yes... in there should be "cache".

That is the main file that determines the layout of the site. Odds are it's been corrupted in some manner, and is cached in your system.

And I run with JS disabled on here, and it works fine.
I can click on it and see the text; Right click does not offer a download option

how would I manually download it? and what folder would I put it in?

tools\options\advanced\network\clear now i #think#.

nynor 05-17-2011 07:29 PM
clearing history does not wipe the cache.

jeffgrant 05-17-2011 07:30 PM
The latest FF has a clear history and opens up a new window where you can select what specific history you want cleared. One of the options is "cache".

Done & rebooted FF - no change

should I have rebooted the computer at any time after making the changes above? (i did not)

nynor 05-17-2011 07:32 PM
rebooting shouldn't matter.

I cleared all the history for Today - can do it all totally.

did not see the cache option there - will look again

hey - this is a good way to get people to move to chrome

ah, cool.

RWebb 05-17-2011 07:33 PM
ok, that was under Details - I left my cookies and cleared "everything" cache & active xxx (forgot what the xxx was)

nynor 05-17-2011 07:34 PM
i'd try uninstalling firefox, reboot the machine and reinstall it.

RWebb 05-17-2011 07:35 PM
no change - did not reboot FireFox tho


BTW - this is NOT the only site affected

nynor 05-17-2011 07:35 PM

BTW - troubleshooting information shows:

Direct2D EnabledBlocked on your graphics driver. Try updating your graphics driver to version 10.6 or newer.

mean anything? ring any bells?

suggests just a speed increase possibility to me

BUT... I did note that the buttons on the plugins "page" or menu are messed up - they have two line drawings or outlines around them, and are not colored.

that seems not to be on the internet but inside Firefox...???
this sounds more like a .dll issue.

where did you get the troubleshooting information? perhaps some .dll in your graphics driver software is causing problems. sounds far fetched, but i've seen much much worse.
