Hello community, I'm having problems at http://getbootstrap.com/. Firefox doesn't load the page correctly. I tried many solutions, but none worked.

I see that the page specifies the Helvetica font.
  • font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
We have seen in the past a lot of cases related to installed Helvetica fonts that aren't working properly. You can check with the Font Inspector what font Firefox uses in your case and try to uninstall this font and other possible Helvetica fonts. You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Nice answer. The problem was precisely the broken helvetica font. I tried installing the fonts-freefont-ttf package, but it did not work, the font is broken directly into the package.

I downloaded an internet source package and removed the fonts-freefont-ttf package package from the system. With the package downloaded, I moved the font to /usr/share /fonts/truetype, reprocessed the font cache and everything worked again.

Thank you community

You have not said what you tried.

Load the web page. Then, to reload the page bypassing the cache and force a fresh retrieval; Ctrl+Shift+R (Mac=Command+Shift+R)

Looks that you block some CSS files and that you have a transparent text color.

Do you see some text if you use CTRL+A on the web page to select all the text.

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

Thank you, but the problem still persists :(
