I am using Firefox 96.0.3 on a MacBook Pro. Since around Jan 25, the bbc.co.uk/news website does not display correctly. See image below. The main BBC page is ok but all sub pages are affected. I have cleared cache and looked for obvious blockers etc. but I can't see what's wrong. Please help!

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

I have cleared the cache and looked at the pages you suggested and started Firefox in Troubleshoot mode. Nothing is changing what I see - image uploaded.

Try to open dev tools (for mac it's command + alt + i ), select the Network tab and see what happens when you reload a page.

I tried the Developer Tools and reloaded the page. There seems to be an error with the Cookie and "SameSite" using the wrong term - see image. I have no idea what this is or how to fix it. I have repeatedly cleared the cache but this seems to have no effect.
