Ever since upgrading FireFox, my websites appear as a jumble of letters and random characters as seen attached (http://i.imgur.com/tQTQ6.png), how to fix?
Hi guys.
I've had this problem with a few other sites recently however as of this morning when Firefox was upgraded I unfortunately ran into a big of a snag - my Twitter site is not displaying correctly and I am unfortunately unable to access it
It basically loads and looks like this
The same problem has affected a torrent site I visit occasionally as well as Wikipedia pages at certain points (however, refreshing the Wikipedia pages fixes the problem but not for twitter or the torrent site KAT).
What can I do? I have had all my add-ons installed before and after this problem happened so I am unsure if it actually is them causing any problems.

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.
Check at least:
- network.http.accept-encoding: gzip,deflate
Oh, wow! Thank you so much, I couldn't find help for this problem anywhere.
What do you think caused this problem? Or does it just naturally happen?
Hi again.
This problem is still recurring, for some reason, seemingly after closing or opening Firefox, the option in about:config is moved back to "user defined" and I have to keep resetting them.
Anyone got any ideaes?
That looks like a problem with the preferences.
See:
Unfortunately, the problem still persists even after resettng and rebooting in safe mode etc. Any ideas? It just randomly keeps changing back to "user defined" instead of "deflate;g-zip"
You can try to reset Firefox and create a new profile.
