When I go to some websites all I get is the tabs converted to a vertical column and clicking on the hyperlink produces no effect
While I can see my home page, once I go below the opening page, many functions don't work, e.g. can't go to some articles. Also when I open other websites, e.g. Ancestry.com.au or eBay, all I get is the normal headers arranged on the right hand side of the screen, shown in blue and highlighted indicating hyperlinks, but clicking on them produces no result. For example it looks like this on Ancestry . Home . Search
. Search all records
. Census and Voter lists, etc.
Search all records and Census and voter lists are sub categories of the tab "Search". I have removed and reinstalled Firefox 6 to no avail.

tabs on webpage converted to a vertical column and clicking on the hyperlink produces no effect -- webpage styling is suppressed:
What you are seeing is the loss of webpage styling. Styling could be lost in a few ways.
Use the view menu (use "Alt" key to temporarily show menu, if missing), you may have turned off page styling, or may have a theme that is interfering, try this first.
- View > Page Style > Basic
Basic is the default them supplied with Firefox, it will will block a theme (an add-on appearance item) that you may have installed, you can switch back to your theme afterwards, or if it is a problem you can disable/uninstall your theme, if there was one.
If that doesn't help, you might be blocking a style sheet. The Adblock Plus extension would be the most common way of blocking unwanted items, and you may have blocked too much. The picture shows what is blocked in ABP on your reference page -- http://ancestry.com.au/ using "Open Blockable Items" ("Ctrl+Shift+V" or right click on the ADP toolbar icon). The list is sorted on "State" column and shows the involved filter, if you are blocking more that what is shown in red you are probably blocking too much. Columns are selectable via the small icon at the far right of the column headings in the "Blockable Items" ADP window.
Other things that might be blocking style sheets or using there own are use of userChrome or the "Stylish" extension. If using Stylish you can disable all styles from its toolbar icon to see if any of the styles is causing a problem.
Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.
