I am presently using Firefox version 3.6.24 on my PPC mac using system 10.4.11. I have been using Firefox for many years with no problems. Yesterday I received and alert on my screen that there was a new update of Firefox available to install. I clicked OK and the update started. When it finished I checked and it was the same version, 3.6.24, which I was using and apparently nothing had changed until I went to my eBay classified site. Once on my site I signed in and went to the manage my items page. The page looked different because normally it displays all items I have for sale and at the top of the list of sale items are three items to check and look at My Ads, which I am looking at, My Profile and My Alerts. When you click on one of these you are normally taken to another page. When I went there after the apparent installation of the updated version of Firefox the page showed My Ads in one column, My Profile in another column and a third column for my alerts all on one page. This is not normal. I signed out and went page to my home page which is http://www.rr.com/. It was now different. Parts of the site were now missing, the sections with the weather, news and notices. I thought it might be the site and then I launched Safari and went to the same page and it was normal. This morning when I launched Firefox it displayed my home page as screwed up as yesterday. Safari showed it as it should look. I then launched SeaMonkey and it showed the page as it should look. I really like Firefox and would like to get it working again like it should. Would appreciate any suggestions. My email address is jsimmons15@cfl.rr.com
