Websites not loading with style. Help?

Ever since I used one of those programs which clear junk files like browsers cache, Firefox has not been working properly.

There's a forum I frequent. Sometimes I can post replies and sometimes I can't. There's a certain website that loads without style. Another website has style but the elements are not properly aligned. (All of the above works on Chrome)

I've already tried: Clearing cookies and cache. Reseting Firefox. Reinstalling firefox. Creating a different user profile and switching to it.

Nothing seems to work.

However, I tried loading the website on another device and it still won't load properly. Even tried using a proxy and the error persists, so maybe it's a problem with my ISP. I doubt it's the website. So yeah, not a Firefox problem.

However, I still can't post on other forum. I tried again switching to a different profile and that worked. So my profile must be corrupted somehow. Can I switch to another profile and export all my bookmarks and cookies from the old profile to the new one?

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

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.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

When investigating your add-ons, check whether you have any Greasemonkey userscripts active on the site. If you click the triangle next to the monkey icon, any active scripts should be designated with a checkmark. To reload with scripts inactive, you can click the monkey (the icon should take on a faded appearance) to temporarily turn off Greasemonkey on all sites. Then reload the page.
