Facebook is displaying gibberish, see screen shot. All other web pages work. It worked normally a couple of times today, but then went back to gibberish when I reload or revisit the page. I have cleared the cashe, removed facebook's cookie (this will bring me to the login page, but when I login it's just the gibberish). I tried refreshing firefox from the support page. This problem started 24 hours ago, and has never happened before with any site.

hi TahoeMike, unfortunately that will be caused by a fault in kaspersky security software on your device which meddles with your connections. in order to fix this go to kaspersky Settings > Additional > Network > Traffic Processing and uncheck the "Inject script" setting. in addition, disable the scanning of secure connections like it's described at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER#w_kaspersky and reboot your system afterwards.

This seems to have worked. Thank you very much, I was losing my mind.

I'm not sure why it suddenly changed behavior, but from what I saw on the Kaspersky forum link you provided this seems to be associated with the newest update, and they are working on it.

Facebook made the change a couple days ago and Firefox 44.0 and newer Releases handles the change fine. Kaspersky however has not been made to work properly with this yet.
