Firefox changed viewing format from html to plain text during upgrade. Have not been able to find solution.
I have looked at the advice pages and have updated the page style and cleared the cache, but this has not fixed the issue.

You would appear to be using Firefox 31.0 That is outdated and not secure.
The first thing you should do is update Firefox
This will not be caused by an intentional Firefox change. It my be worth trying Firefox in its safe mode
The Firefox 31.4.0 ESR version is still supported and has the latest security patches, so if you use that version then it is OK.
Can you attach a screenshot?

Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":

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
