Up until a month or so ago when I clicked on to the MarketWatch site I would get a "normal" screen to look at meaning that the screen content was centered in the middle of the screen The content colors were the same as they have been for years.

Then, a month or so ago, when I clicked on to the MarketWatch site the screen would come up "normal" as described above. After a couple of nanoseconds the "normal" screen would change. The background color would change to a bluish-green (similar to the MarketWatch non-content background color), the screen content presentation would shift to the left on the monitor screen and the "normal" color would be washed out and replaced by the bluish-green color, the same as the background. Lost would be the colors of the MarketWatch screen which are important to the content of the presentation as well as the shift to the left and down. I complained to the MarketWatch folks as well as the Mozilla folks.

Yesterday was like the answer to a maidens' prayer. The MarketWatch site content appeared "normal" as it has in the past. However, today the screen and the MarketWatch site and its content are again distorted in the same way as in the bad old days. You, or whoever, has managed snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You, or whoever, have converted a permanent problem into an intermittent problem, or should I say more of problem with a problem of its own, this unanticipated shifting back and forth. ...sort of like watching commercials on TV being interrupted by a football game or such. I hope that my description helps this time around? It did not seem to work the last time.

Anyway, is there any hope that this problem will be resolved while we are still young?

Respectfully,

Jim
