Firefox shows a line of random characters when I load my home page. Doesn't occur with IE or other montors.

I had to replace my hard drive. Downloaded latest FF. Now when I access my home page I get a line of random characters at bottom of page. Doesn't appear to happen when I open home page in IE, nor when my PC is connected to a different monitor. No problem before I had to replace my hard drive. I had a older version of FF installed but same monitor.

Thanks Richard

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I removed cookies from the email page and the random characters did go away when I refreshed page. Not the case with my home page however. Richard
