Hello Everyone, I am using Google homepage and search engine with firefox 50.1.0, and whenever i sign into my gmail account the inbox messages have typing over the top of them. I do not have the issue with IE11, so am wondering if there is anything in the settings that may be causing this.

Thank you for replying. I have done all of the above, then signed into gmail again, and it stays the same, with typing over the inbox messages.
