Basically what happens is on most websites I will find random photos from say facebook or from battlefield 3 battle log in place of the proper photos, text in the wrong place, and generally just a mess. Also peoples facebook pictures will be mixed up so someone elses appears as someone else. To sort it I have to CTRL + F5. It happens all the time and its extremely annoying. Only happens on windows not on my mac, and only in firefox.

Do you have HTTP pipelining enabled?

You can check the network.http.* prefs on the about:config page and reset all bold user set network.http prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu -> Reset.

Hi,

You can also consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information to see if it helps.

(To revert to the previous profile you were using, close the new profile (i.e. exit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the Default User profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers), or the former profile, as the case may be).
