Among the websites are: AOL, Facebook, maxpreps.com. All open to an unusual looking home page.

--AOL crashes when I try to open my email box.

--Facebook will not function at all; it doesn't recognize that my cursor is on any field.

--Maxpreps.com has some pages operate fine, but others do not fully load.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)

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 or otherwise make changes.
