Is anyone else having a problem when clicking on a link from FB or a link you have saved just for a bit of that page to come up - not all of it ??
Since the last two updates (last two weeks) I have had problems with Firefox opening page links, whether this is from my FB - to other pages, links, websites, groups, etc., OR links previously saved. Part of the page comes up, not all of it. Anyone out there that can help please. Thank you

Hi, there appears to be an issue that only affects users who have turned off cleartype font rendering within their windows settings. So a workaround for the moment would either be to turn cleartype back on or disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings
Let us know please if that works.
This did not help but thank you Pkshadow - perhaps another way to go about this

Welcome, ya a 7min fix, maybe : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 59.0.1 with a Full Version Installer
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
