For 2 days now every site I go to normally is loading weird. Things are piled up on top of each other, things dissappear, the things that aren't piled on each other is in blocks instead of pictures, icons, etc... and i have to reload all the time-pretty much as soon as I bring up any page on any site. It's getting tiring and frustrating. I've tried and tried to fix this and am having no luck. I've clicked on all the restore defaults I can find and it's just not doing it. I really don't want to get rid of Firefox cause for me this is the only thing I trust but honestly I'm thinking about it. Please help!!!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
