oh and even in troubleshot mode if for some rason i clesr history either in the menu bar or with an extension i get the same result
It looks by seeing the content not being styled that some CSS files are blocked and fail to get loaded.
What reasons do you have for wanting to delete history like cookies and cache ? If you do not have content blocking extensions then your security (AV) software might be causing this problem
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.

- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/trackers-and-scripts-firefox-blocks-enhanced-track
You can try these steps in case of issues with webpages:
You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).
"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"
"Clear the Cache":
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> [X] Cached Web Content -> Clear

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
I have tracking protection disabled on all sites am only using on Firefox add blocker A hardware acceleration of always has been extension up to date i have Norton antivirus but always have had it all the same add on as before. yesterday after having multiple problems with Firefox I did the cache and cookie this so may times that when i tried to log in to Facebook through through Firefox i had to have codes and yes i said codes cause i did it multiple time so many codes so may times that i thought Facebook would restrict account. Now i have not done anything different on Firefox to cause words with friend not to load in fact before the recent Firefox up date as of earlier this week i was having no trouble with word with friends in Firefox or Facebook except for the new Firefox update i am using version101.0 64 bit so tht leads me to thing it is not my antivirus that i have had for years and it worked or add on that i have had for years that worked and never have a problem playing words with friend s prior to this so i am bleary of clearing history or cache for that reason so every thing you mentioned above i have or do not have hardware acceleration enabled. the only other thing that got updated was netframework windows updates and that is it . I f i turn off cookies for Facebook it can not get in to my account again if i delete cookies or cache then i need a text code to get into Facebook. Even if i am in trouble shoot mode i do get word with friend but i do not like keeping history so i have never remember history or custom history and then you get what the picture shows above above shows page does not load but does in Chrome ab edge even after cleaning history so i have down all thy you suggested above that is why it leads me to believe it is a firefox issue not me issue so how do i fix this and still stay with Firefox?
i just hit never member history and lost all addon in menu bar so there is something wrong with Firefox my dad also had problem the other day while trying to get Firefox got nothing jut blank page and spinning hour glass had to reinstall it to work so i think it may be a Firefox problem

if i got to troubleshoot mode where every thing is removed it works
Okay, so the first thing I think of is (in regular mode):
Double-check content blockers: Firefox's Tracking Protection feature, and extensions that counter ads and tracking, may break websites that embed third party content (meaning, from a secondary server).
(A) The shield icon toward the left end of the address bar usually turns a bit purplish when content is blocked. Click the icon to learn more or make an exception. See: Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop.
(B) Extensions such as Adblock Plus, Blur, Disconnect, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Ghostery, NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin or uMatrix usually provide a toolbar button to manage blocked content in a page. There may or may not be a number on the icon indicating the number of blocked items; you sometimes need to click the button to see what's going on and test whether you need to make an exception for this site.

When you set Firefox to "Never Remember History" then it runs in 100% private browsing. It is not able to retain any cookies to keep you signed in, and some or all of youir add-ons might be disabled (each extension has an individual setting that controls whether it runs in private windows, see: Extensions in Private Browsing). I don't think this is going to work well for you if you are trying to reduce the number of time you have to complete the multi-factor authentication because you need to retain cookies in order for that to work.
when i click on the words with friend that i have stored in Face book which up to now as always worked i get this even when i hit history in safe mode i have tried contacting zynga it works just fine in Edge and Chrome there is no purple color any where i have tracking protection off why would clearing history effect that it never did before this just started in the last week or so it has always worked before p it sounds to me from sites i have gone to that Fireox is having some trouble eve my dad has some w when he wen to Firefox white screen and spinning hour galls he had to reinstall it for it to work so i think the latest update has done something just saw this on Google so it appears there are problems a t Firefox i amn runing version101.0 64 bit the screen shot is what i get in firefox Mozilla down today June, 2022?

Hi Mary, does Facebook always look like that for you, with the very plain appearance? Just wondering whether that is related.
Any difference if you try this:
Right-click (or Shift+right-click) the area that shows loading and look for "This Frame" on the context menu. If you have that, expand it and try Open Frame in New Tab to see whether the game can load outside of that FB page.
no and that is what i am trying to tell you that is not normal it is a game and should open like the photo i am sending you from Chrome. That is why i think it is a firefox problem as of last week before the new update of Firefox it was like what Ia going to send you it opens correctly in Chrome and edge supposed to

no and i am unable to get a photo of what it is suppose to look like it will not ope for me if you google words with friend for Facebook on pc
you will se what it is suppose to look like that us what i is supposed to look like but not in Firefox as of this week look like the other photo so it tell me that tells me it is a firefox issue
instead it shows this not right so see there is a problem wit firefox
In the correct screenshot, did you full screen it after it loaded or does it just do that automatically?
It really looks like a content-blocker is kicking in, maybe affecting the fbcdn.net server.
it does it automatically it comes up big like that on Chrome and edge was smaller in firefox when it worked
how do i disable content blocker and what is it is it from an extension if i did do content blocker i do not know how or what i did to cause it. Like i said i reached out to Zynga and no real reply i sure wish i could lay ot like i used to on facebook with i Firefox how do i disable conttent blocker i am not sure i know how if it is in my av

i am not sure why and i have tried disabling an trying to find out why but if i go trouble shoot mode and all is turned of Words with friends works. now i am not a fan of keeping history so i have some of the clear cache and cookies extension added and if i hit clear cache and history it breaks the site like the photo here I have tried one by one to figure out what add on/extension if any is causing it on all sites especially Facebook i have tracking protection off on most or all sites i do not understand why it works in troubleshoot mode no if refresh or get out of facebook and go back in it will come up unless and until i hit clear cache or history it had never done that before and if I have no idea why now it was working fine until about a week ago after new Firefox update. I have used those clear cache and history etc for every and it never did this before I have no problem in Chrome or Edge words with friends comes right up like it should now i do not want to have to disable all addon extension every time i want to play this only game have on Facebook and i sure a s heck do not want to stop using Firefox i have been using it since it started but lately it has been really hard with all the new stuff added . i have track in removed on on my home page which is xfinity not sure if that is the problem as well and facebook so this is upsetting

Clearing cookies requires you to log in again. That part is clear and easy to understand.
What is not clear is what add-on is messing up FB pages -- immediately when you load the page, before you clear anything. If you want to keep all of them running, I think you need to experiment with making individual exceptions (to allow FB sites) for each one.
