My Firefox home page is Fasebook. It worked fine until Facebook changed their format on 9/20/2011. Other sites work OK. How can this be fixed?

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

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

After clearing all cache and cookies Firefox accessed Facebook just fine.
