when I click a link in one web site it is supposed to show the details on another page of the same web site with text and numbers. But it shows only numbers. Why?

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

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can also try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps in case your security software (firewall, anti-virus) is causing this problem.

Can you attach a screenshot and possibly also post a link?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.

You can check the network.http.* prefs on the about:config page.

Reset network.http prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu -> Reset if they are user set (bold).

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately the above solution did not fix the issue.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled the Firfox. Now it is working perfectly!

Appreciate all the support.
