Firefox looks wonky after reinstall of OSX 18.6
I have just reinstall my Mac Mini (OSX 18.6).
I have reinstalled all of my normal things CS4, Chrome, Firefox, Office 2008 etc.
When I run FF the whole browser looks like an old tv the whole view port is skewed to 45 degrees and the tab looks like a image on the web that hasn't loaded correctly. I do have a screen grab but nowhere to upload it!)
Thanks!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

HI iamjayakumars
Tried the reset, but it didn't help
I have since uninstalled and put FF17 on and it seems to be working fine for now!
Screen grab of the error attached!
Thanks

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
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 or otherwise make changes.
HI Cor-el
I have reinstalled FF18 and turned of the Hardware acceleration and it seems OK now, I didn't have any addons or themes so that wasn't the issue!
Bad hardware acceleration, bad!
Thanks!
