Formatting of website is messed up since I tried to un-install "Text Inhance" virus/addon
I accidentally installed a plug-in called "Text Inhance" (FAKE/PHONY website can be found here: http://text-enhance.com/) and explored potential fixes via disabling add-ons etc. At some point the formatting of certain websites such as YouTube and even some Firefox related pages got screwed up. Images dissapear and the links just form a column down the left hand side of the page. Any assistance would be much appreciated!

To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
