Firefox doesn't display Amazon.ca website properly. Text is missing and some navigation button texts are screwy. Older version of FF worked well but each time I upgrade the same thing happens. Help!

With each new version of Firefox, I run into the same issue with Amazon.ca (amazon.com works fine). For instance, on Amazon.COM the links for my account and help are stated as "Your Account | Help". On amazon.CA the links for my account and help are stated as "your-account_279 | topnav-help_1057".

When I log into my account on Amazon.COM I have a web page with text and buttons and links. all functioning. When I log into my account on Amazon.CA I get nothing except two orange buttons - "Your Orders" and "sell my stuff". everything else is blank.

This has happened with each upgrade of Firefox. It seems that Amazon.CA finally gets their coding right and FF comes out with a new version which then screws the website up. are you making your upgrades available to Amazon.CA?

And just so you know, The same thing happens on IE and Chrome.

I don't know about the Canadian website, but my wife had a similar problem in the US. I Googled all kinds of stuff and never found an answer. I finally figured out: Tools/Page Info/Media. Near the bottom of the page is a check box for "Block Images from g-ecx.images-amazon.com". Once I unchecked that the page displayed properly. Probably something similar for the Canadian Amazon website as well as other sites that don't display properly. And yes, flame me all you like about the Glen Campbell Live product at the top...

Thanks. I tried that but all it does is remove the graphics from the page. All the lettered links are still goofy. It does the same in Windows Explorer but works fine in Google Chrome. (see JPEG).
