Parts of a browser page are missing
Recently, parts of web pages when viewed with FireFox have started going missing.
As an example, when I look at Apple - MY ID, https://appleid.apple.com/
All I see are 2 horizontal blue strips, 8 colored icons and the main (black) heading "What's an Apple ID?"
When I look at the same page with Chrome, I see everything - the (white) labels on the 2 horizontal strips and the block of text under "What's an Apple ID?" as below:
An Apple ID is your user name for everything you do with Apple: Shop the iTunes Store, enable iCloud on all your devices, buy from the Apple Online Store, make a reservation at an Apple Retail Store, access the Apple Support website, and more.
What is going on? Why are parts missing?
Help please.
