firefox will not run some websites

more options

FIrefox has issues loading a complete page in certain websites. Twtter, Linkedin and Goolge are exmaples. It is not 100% of the time. Pages are there, but the text, images and other HTML cannot be seen.

I have clear cache and cookies already. Running 59.0.1 (64 bit)

Please advise.

ClearType Issue

If you adjust the zoom one tick -- hold down the Ctrl key and tap either the + or - key -- does the missing content fill in?

Your symptoms plus a successful zoom test are characteristic of a new bug in Firefox 59-60 affecting users who disabled ClearType font smoothing in their Windows settings. This is expected to be fixed in a 59.0.2 update, but it's not clear when that will be released.

If you don't want to re-enable ClearType, then the workaround is to temporarily disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration. The following article has the steps for that, and the change takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again:

Any improvement?
