Hi,

You can try to restart Firefox and check. If the problem persists you can try to Clear Now the Cookies, Cache and Active Logins in Tools (Alt + T) > Clear Recent History after selecting Everything beside Time range to clear.

You can also start afresh by updating Firefox to the latest and doing a Reset.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Looks fine here.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)

Hi

Not all the problems is about the cache, sometimes using hack css should be a good trick to have a good compatiblity with all browsers.
