The regular websites I visit now come up in a text mode only. Not all sites come up like this just certain ones. I have not touch any of the settings.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.

See:

  • http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
  • Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
  • Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
  • Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

Interestingly it fixed the same problem with other browsers too!
