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

Try this several times.

Afraid nothing, already tried that earlier and again but doesn't seem to do anything different.

Remove History For One Site {web link}

Open the History Manager <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> H. In the search bar, enter the name of the site. Right-click on one of the listings and select Forget About This Site. This should remove all information, including any site settings

This happens when you block CSS files or these CSS files otherwise fail to load.

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

Hi,

Tried both options of forgetting about site and restarting in safe mode but neither done anything.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Tried that also and just the same. It only appears to be on this one site (eBay) and it works on both Chrome and Internet explorer.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for messages about blocked content.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data for that website will be saved once again.

This seems to have sorted it for now, I had spates of it returning to normal for a few hours over the past few days but have tried this and it seems to be working so far, will wait until a few more days have passed and update!

Thanks!!
