I have to view my work emails through the outlook company website, and the site loads fine...except when I go to view my long chain of emails, it only shows the first line, which is the date. All the other email contents don't show. I've cleared my cookies and history, etc, but it hasn't changed anything.

No, I haven't contacted its support, because it works fine in Chrome. I just recently switched back to FF after the update.

Looking at the screenshot, as you can see, it only shows the date, and every email under it does the same thing. For other emails that don't have a long string like that, the emails show up fine and everything is there, but I'm missing all the details from these reports from this specific string of e-mails.

Might need to start a new string, who knows. It's just odd that it shows up in Chrome but not FF.
