Sites do not load correctly
I'm having a problem where internet sites are not loading correctly. They will sometimes not show background images, or the formatting of the pages do not load right. They load all links at the left side of the page, and pictures too. I only have problems with this on my work computer, and not my home one. If I load a site, the first or second try it may not load right. I close the browser, delete the cookies and cache, and SOMETIMES it will load the website correctly. This happens for Yahoo.com, Ebay, Wal-Mart and other sites as well.
I have also deleted Mozilla Firefox from my computer, and deleted all memorized info on my computer for it. That has also not helped.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons (Adblock Plus?) is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
Ok I'm running Firefox in safe mode. I'm still having problems with websites with all add ons disabled and everything on default. Of course when I had a perfect way of showing the problem, I didn't think to screen capture it.
Any additional suggestions? Thanks in advance!

You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window - See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences --- You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting:Make a new profile]] There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files) See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
