Adobe download pages do not load properly
Hi all
I have trouble downloading any adobe software through Firefox. More precisely, the download pages from Adobe (such as https://get.adobe.com/reader/ for the Adobe Reader) do not load properly, see attachment. Same problem exists for other adobe download pages e.g. for flash player (which I have now installed via the firefox addon direct link). I have no issues with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. I am using Windows 10 (64 bit) and Firefox 56.0.1 (64-bit).
I have not had issues with any other webpages so far.
Additional, when clicking on any of the links on that page, I receive a SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT error, not sure if that is linked.

Thank you, the hardware acceleration setting was the issue! After disabling it, the page loaded correctly.
I thought I had attached a screenshot, somehow did not get uploaded. Added for reference. The attachment shows what the webpage looked with hardware acceleration enabled.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.,) and then perform these steps:
In Firefox 54 and below:
- Click the menu button and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
In Firefox 55 and above:
- Click the menu button and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the General panel.
- Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
