A lot of websites I to while using firefox keep switching to just text. All the pictures, colors, etc. disappear, and only the advertisements and words remain, and everything is moved to the left side of the page. It has been like this for a while and I was ignoring it, but now I've finally had enough. Can you fix it?

That happens when the stylesheet (.css file) doesn't download for some reason - or takes too long.

You can simulate it with View >Page style > No style

Try control-F5 to reload it into cache. Is is being blocked with something - like an add-on?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...
