Within the past few days when using Firefox various page elements will no longer load on a lot of website pages. Yahoo for example will load with missing text, images. but when moving the page up and down elements appear to attempt to load before not loading. Other websites however will be fine. attempted using the refresh option, however this never solved the issue.

If I close Firefox and re open for 5 mins it will load perfectly.

Hi, it seems an issue that only affects users who have turned off cleartype font rendering within their windows settings. So a workaround for the moment would either be to turn cleartype back on or disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox: Firefox's performance settings

Please report back if this is the solution

If not please try this 7min : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 59.0.1 with a Full Version Installer

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Just to add another symptom to the issue, if I have 1 single table open on firefox everything loads fine, it seems to only be if I have a 2nd tab or more open within the same session.

The issue I have dosent have issues with the fonts. this page where im writing the info didnt load in the 2nd tab either so had to paste address to post in tab 1. I noticed even menus dont show on here, but if I start moving the curor around the screen to where the item should be, it will appear temporarily.

Its almost like there is some kind of caching problem.

Thanksm Danny
