I generally keep Firebox open for several hours at a time. After a while, when I open a new page, the text appears on the left side of the page, all in a single plain font. There will be no graphics. Closing and restarting Firefox solves the problem, and the same page then displays correctly.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
