I have the BBC News set as my Homepage. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ ) There has not been any problem on earlier Firefox versions, but now, on first selection after booting up computer the homescreen appears only in 'text'. If I hit the 'home' icon/button in the toolbar, the homescreen then appears correctly. Alternatively, if I hit the 'refresh' button the homescreen then appears correctly. All other opening screens open correctly. The BBC also opens correctly if set as the homescreen on Opera, Chrome, Safari or IE9 - all without the problem. Ideas? Thanks.

Solved. Thank you. I emptied all history and cache and it seems to have done the trick.
