I did a new install of Firefox (latest version) on a new Windows 8 laptop (I did not import anything). When I go to Hulu & Facebook (as an example, this happens to almost all sites I try to load) the pages do not load correctly, I get hyper links on the left side of the screen. If I refresh then the pages load correctly.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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 and the updater process.
