Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald de Miami show up in HTML code instead of words and pictures -- only since *&^%! update. What to do?

Earlier today, I was trying to read articles that showed up on the screen with a whirly pattern of HTML code superimposed upon;, and obscuring, the text. Enough! I switched to Chrome. But I really like Firefox better so, stupid me, I tried again. This time the text of the article I wanted reverted to HTML code ONLY and hung the Firefox program altogether. The URL for this last escapade appears below. Blame the Miami Herald or El Nuevo Herald if you want, but I'm going to be asking about a passel of other problems of different types that I've encountered since your *&^%$!!! nag screen impelled me to "upgrade."

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