Dear Sir or Madam,

I just bought a new Samsung 900x notebook, with Windows 8. I installed the Firefox 21.0 version. Many websites (Youtube, Gmail,...) do not appear properly on the screen. For instance, Gmail suggests me to display the "html page", suitable for low connections. However, I have a high speed connection.

I've never seen such problems on a computer. Do you have other reports on such computers or with windows 8?

I don't know whether the problem is the computer, Windows 8 or Firefox.

Thank you for your input.
