Most pages are opening as code, and have to be reloaded to open correctly

When opening virtually any page, it first displays as code, and page info shows it to be text/plain. Reloading it will then most often correct the problem, and page info will correctly show it as text/html. This is happening in safe mode as well, which suggests that it is not being caused by an extension. I have also cleared my cache, and history, and the problem keeps happening.

Can anyone offer a suggestion/solution?

Update: I competely deleted firefox, and did a clean reinstall. The problem continues to occur. It seems as though Firefox is attempting to show the page before all information has been received.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
