Web pages will not download in html format, just a long listing of items on the page. How do I correct this?

Firefox was working as normal. I downloaded the Password app from Firefox and all my web pages stopped downloading properly. I deleted the app, no change. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Nothing. This happened once before & I had to take it to a computer repair store to get it fixed. That time, it was caused by a program that I had downloaded. I tried restoring my system but that did not work either.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
