Screen displayed wrong. MSN home page, tiles are not displayed or misplaced. OK in Chrome or Edge
Firefox and Chrome display a web page significant different. Firefox clearly being wrong. Example is MSN homepage. A picture consists of 3 tiles. In Firefox shows only one tile, the 2nd a part and the 3rd is black. I tried to upload images but that does not work.

That was very good work. Well done.
If this happens again then check for issues with images.
If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains. You can tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions".
Check "Tools -> Page Info -> Media" for blocked images
- select the first image and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list
- if an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain
You can check these preferences on the about:config page and make sure they have the default value.
- permissions.default.image (1)
- network.http..sendRefererHeader (2)
There is Tracking Protection that can block (wanted) content, so check the location/address bar for special icons.
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content. There is security software that can interfere with loading content, so check that as well.
