When I open github it loads incorrectly as shown in the picture, after I press F5 to reload the site load fine. I have tried deleting cookies and I am using any ad-blocker. Any help? Thanks.

Try changing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to "Off" or "Max Protection" and in Connection Settings change "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy".

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

I have done what you said, it seems to be working fine for the moment. Does changing those option make visiting other sites less secure?

Another thing is that this doesnt always happen. Sometimes I visit github and it loads just fine the first time, others I have to reload with F5, but doing this always fix it. I would say around 50-50 if it load fine or not.

After some tests the problem is still there, like I said before, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesnt. I also tried troubleshoot mode, and the same keep happening but less often, I opened like 20 github pages and it only happened once.

Any other ideas?

You might be blocking CSS files.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin), always make sure such extensions do not block content.

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about blocked content and about the presence of mixed or unsafe content.

You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.

If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.

I do have Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin but they are both disabled in github. I used the web console and like you said there seems to be a bunch of error with css files. I will upload a screen. How can I find out what is causing those errors? I have been using firefox for years and this only started happening around 2 months ago. I havent installed any new extensions or changed any settings in that time.

This does not properly disable extensions, they are still active and can interfere. You need to disable them from the addons manager (about:addons) to completely rule them out.

Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile. Make sure you stay signed out of your sync account when testing.

@zeroknight, thanks for "DNS over HTTPS" tip, it helped!

Although, I've had slightly different rendering issue: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/118680

I would never think, that DNS setting could break the rendering =)

UPD: I was wrong, what helped in my case - "Expand file tree". When it is collapsed - there are rendering issues with text selection.

But I tried troubleshoot mode which should disable extensions and it was still happening. I uninstalled both ad blockes and I have no others extension and the problem is still there.

I installed developer edition fresh install, new profile and it also happens there. I will upload picture. Also tried shutting down my anti virus (Kaspersky) but didnt help.

Well I am an idiot, it is not a firefox bug. I never use it so I didnt even bother to try but I tested using edge as a browser and the same thing happens there. Funny thing is that it only happens on github, I dont have problems with any other site.

Boot the computer into Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.

Problem is still there in safe mode using both firefox and edge.
