Facebook won't load, get code instead of graphics or type
When I try to log onto facebook, I do not see any graphics. Instead I get a page that looks like this: ?¾?ä¯æêï{9Yï'©?I†?×ù…!2&p’8¤nLØÝ`,~mæƒ$íR#Äk…??Þ{ÿ?0UI£MT›YCò<%<¯-Å¥ŒÑä×I©???ýI?â_y œ”ß?L´çBᱞPoÏ¿ü,ìOÿŽˆ?ê7nBžÅÒïÏyÇë¨ ¸5Ã@Gr˜UòP˜TÆt!‰…»?óî˜!¿þùF”¨Wƒ?ÄäÜKr¾-?ÂãŠÊ°? ?7º€ ;R?„h…ÖÍ`…Ög|Ϥ—R¿ˆ#XÁý&<&·?WÿuÉù¿µ? êÏn7¯KÎͳìÿÞ ‹?BCS”‹{@¯?@—0¯Â~!?`~nimªIš£Þíû???’-ß‚?Ôœ÷.³Þ› "?¶ß¡ø|ïcŸ?}.)1Ê6|‹(f’²‰~pÎbI?cGCm`?f ¢y#FyçˆæŬ}úÃß‘´/ëm˜ç'?¥?byãÄINòë 5?¢XRr²GtO®ÓË?IÙ <Üý0?ò¡pŠÎ’BÆ!÷ä_?'ìŒ.B4–”ã–î®M??j?b`˜×Š?ýöõ!`< ¥I2$?fç yã`èº?;”à~:[†yõ†™¦ª4Þ?Ê0r˜?6X9#(°º˜g&Ù?Á?Ñ&?Œ¾BéO??Pú”,Š5?¾—ÄæùlJìôÝíà?$ìfÑÍ?³oÜé~Ãn?+té6ËR‰oعZƒÂÝW÷+Âra5åÿ½8ôî?×T«ð0™Û1$;r(dÍÓz?CSaœ½J??‹ ¢méz-Åa„?¸æ1΢ŽUŽÉgM¾md&›³ÑõXö¢¹?•?c”‚0U;¡?ÂL?ì†Mè?¢?rƒ:)fÇ€X0^…BSLj?rÀö?þÒ\¸xòÈ ³¶vaagC!à3?ç-?Nž¬&VbYãËî=¡?PÛO¦1 ¡'ßÆØ\îzÕŒ)dØE½[©R??¥ðÒõÀ4?&žG?ÃoÍì?Ã?*í'Û?´©¦EÔk»åÊD¼bzl??De_?Bi“??ÅÕ¨âm¯±1;c6²;8ËÉ?A(e?tÙ+xqµ?ËZ‹§¨kúZ\ÁÐn͵ºÒÎÞe¸?dÁU‘&µ?C+kµße #oÆ???Òœo½¤Ç4Ž}×Çú‡?Ñ-eY³iw;F§Û3—–s?g¼?¾?ž—F ?OÑÍC¾?„xq"ôsÅ^¼w??¸\.

I get the same thing when I try to log in with Chrome, but can log in with IE. Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

Do you have any software that filters your connections to websites? A while ago there was a problem with Kaspersky software -- since fixed -- that caused Firefox users to receive gibberish from Facebook.
I'll give you the temporary workaround for that problem to see whether it makes any difference for you:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste enco and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the network.http.accept-encoding.secure preference and edit as follows: delete the , br from the end so it just reads gzip, deflate like the preference above it in the list, and then click OK
What that does is stop Firefox from telling Facebook it can use "Brotli" compression. Facebook will use the older gzip form of compression instead.
Any difference? If so, we should try to figure out what is wrong with your web filtering software (or whether you have malware intercepting your connection).

I am only using Iolo System Mechanic Pro. The fix you gave me worked! Thank you very much!
I'm not familiar with System Mechanic...
To see if that is the filter, could you check the information on the certificate? You can use the Page Info dialog, either:
- right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Certificate"
- (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Certificate"
- click the padlock or "i" icon in the address bar, then the ">" button, then More Information, and finally the "View Certificate" button
In the dialog that opens, the "Issued by" section usually has this:
Common Name (CN): DigiCert SHA2 High Assurance Server CA
Does yours match that or does it show a different issuer?
