text only view of web pages
Hi, can someone help with a fix for this please? When using firefox today on a win 8.1 laptop, I am only getting a 'text' framework on a page and none of the links work. I have looked at the 'view settings 'page style' is on 'basic' and 'encoding' is set to 'unicode. I have restarted both firefox and the machine to no avail. Clues; Pages which open as pdf do so correctly, and one page which isn't a https address-just www. displays as it originally did although it is a text only page. All was fine when I put the machine to sleep last night. Any help appreciated.TY.

What's your Firefox version?
Is this with all websites, some, a few?
If this is just one or two sites;
Load the web page. Then, holding down the<shift> key, reload the page. This will have the browser download fresh from the web, bypassing the cache.
If the above does not help, you may be blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Sometimes, data can be corrupted. Reloading (bypassing cache) sometimes helps.
