This article explains how to fix problems where a website doesn't look like it normally does.

This article deals with websites not appearing correctly in Firefox. * If you receive error messages when trying to load websites, see the [[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]] article instead. * If any of the more specific articles below apply to you, see those articles first: ** [[Webpages are large and blurry after updating Firefox - how to fix]] ** [[Fix problems that cause images to not show]] ** [[Fix common audio and video issues]] __TOC__ = Clear the cookies and cache = Firefox caches websites, which means it saves some files on your machine so that it doesn't have to re-download everything when you visit sites. If a website has updated their code, Firefox may still be using some of the old code along with some of the new, which can make a web page display incorrectly. To fix this, you need to clear the cookies and cache: [[T:clearCookiesCache]] Now that your cookies and cache are cleared, visit the website again to see if the problem is solved. = Reset Zoom = Some websites may not look right at different zoom levels. To reset Zoom setting, for the site, press {for win,linux}{key Ctrl+0}{/for}{for mac}{key command+0}{/for} and for all sites, see the documentation about the Zoom add-on you use. = Reset the minimum font size = Some sites do not display properly with a minimum font size.
