I could download news or information articles in text and then change the text of the article to present information as I wanted/needed. 

  What I get now is a page of continous text with no breakes or paragraphs etc. I also can not manipulate or make any changes to what is downloaded.
  What happened and how do I fix the problem??

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
