Hi, Some pages such as Mozilla add-ons are displayed as text. I've tried your usual techniques : Basic page style, plug-in update.... I've re-intalled my Widows 7 family premium plus Firefox with no Security suite and all OS, drivers and plug-ins (Flash, Java, Silverlight, VLC) up to date. Nothing worked. Same issue. With internet explorer everthing works fine. I've got an Asus N7 series labtop with a disk partion dedicated to windows re-instalation. I didn't reinstall windows with a regular CD. So I think there's a Win7's component missing. Or maybe there's a conflict between Firefox and some hardware. Have you an idea that can help me to fix this problem please ? Thank you Kind Regards Jim

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

See if there is still a problem. Then restart.
