I've gone through all the FAQs and through the forums for a good bit, and can't seem to find anything that works for me.

I'm having trouble with most websites having text all over the place, under images, or hidden behind other objects. I've also seen column problems in pages loading.

My text settings are at default, no minimum size, and I allow custom fonts on pages. I am not zoomed (even reset that to be sure.)

Yes, that second one is this website. The first is Papa John's.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
