I have been having trouble viewing pages in multiple browsers since last night. It has done this with me before. I am using an Acer Aspire and also Firefox version 23. I've tried looking online and following suggestions such as clearing the cache, retarting in safe mode, etc. Nothing seems to work. It's only on certain pages. For example- Facebook works and displays fine. It's when I go to websites like Amazon, Wix, Ebay, and others that I get the issue. The pages are displaying with a white background and just text/links and basic images. I've checked the page style and it is on Basic Page Style. Here is what I have:

see if a antivirus or other program is messing with your connection.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

The Amazon one is really unusual. Many of the graphical elements are downloaded as a single image (called a sprite) and then it is positioned behind an element such as the search box Go button as a background and moved to the correct part of the sprite. On your screen, the background image is being displayed in full over and over. Very strange.

Do you notice any consistent difference between HTTP and HTTPS sites?

We have seen issues before where a sprite didn't work properly because of HiDPI issues.
