Since I updated to FF 85.0 (using Mac OS 10.13.6 on a MacBook Pro), articles on the Guardian website all display with text on top of the pictures, making the text illegible. I have tried deleting the cache for the Guardian sites but that hasn't helped. Articles display fine on Safari and Chrome. I have the Guardian to help but they have not yet replied. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Laurence

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
