Recent Firefox update 36ish; pages wont load; get solid text characters; images split up and mosaic shuffled, no matter haw simple html page is.
Pages such as google.com, apod.com, and newegg.com will not load. Get a huge one page of pure text and symbols. Others such as apod.com give an image that has been split horizontally into two or more sections and reshuffled: often with a portion not rendering correctly i.e. in negative or other wild color change. Google.com will not load at all, after several reloads it appears. Newegg.com also get text dump w/no images; after several reloads page may appear.
Have never had any such problems. Machine is quite clean; have undergone current updates to Adobe Flash and any Windows 7pro updates. Have used Firefox ever since ver. 0.9 etc
PS: absolutely loathe the unmovable reload/stop buttons on the right of the address bar. Don't bother, I've read your "fix" for this once per month since this was implimented. Not very Mozillaish at all. Im going to start running rel. 27. again.
