Some websites display in a very basic format in Mozilla, but are fine in Explorer. This is a recent problem. How can I fix this?
Recently Mozilla is having problems displaying some websites. Previously these website displayed fine, and in Internet Explorer they still displays them fine. For example. http://www.yr.no/ displays few graphics, and all the text is in times new roman font. The size of the font varies and things are bulleted. Links appear blue and underlined, and the rest of the text is black. The sites are now very plain and have none of their previous detail. How can I fix this?

Can you attach a screenshot and post a link?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
You did check the Windows Accessibility settings in the Control Panel?

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Thank you for the suggestion, but I already have these settings. The problem is that some web pages now appear very undetailed. There is no graphic design, background colours, fancy texts etc. It is just a problem with some sites. Do you have any othe suggestions? Thank you for your help
