Website appears w/o formatting(no CSS or JS?) with cache clearing making a temp fix.
I'm having a problem with my website displaying incorrectly. I've searched far and wide w/o luck. The site is supposed to look like this http://i.imgur.com/qSkLFKM.jpg but instead it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/bMKTdp0.png . You can take a look yourself/try to replicate it at http://www.thetavernmc.com.
Here's everything I can think of (at the moment): - It's happening strictly to Firefox users, but not all of them. - The website is running IP.Board and AFAIK no changes have been made recently to it that would cause this. - My Firefox has had no updates/changes AFAIK in a long time. - Addons don't seem to be affecting it. From some quick surveying, the people experiencing this bug all have different addons(some with none at all and some with the same addons as those not experiencing the problem). - Clearing cookies does not effect the bug. - Clearing cache or SHIFT+RELOADING will fix the problem for 1 load, after which it will start bugging out again.
Thanks in advanced!
P.S. Being interested in web dev I'm always watching and learning from websites. I have to say of all the "neat" and "flashy" sites I've seen from gaming to corporations' support pages, Mozilla's is amazing. Simple, fleshed out, clean, elegant, intuitive, it's beautiful.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
I've tried that. Like I said I'm fairly certain addons aren't contributing. I've also looked across the internet at similar posts.
Here's a screenshot of my no-addon FF still having the bug. http://i.imgur.com/RwGvJUI.png
Did you try disable Adblock Plus?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
No I haven't but that didn't help either. I disabled it, rebooted, purged the cache, tried both above mentioned methods of loading w/o cache, and it's still doing it. Something I noticed however that feels key(but what do I know?) is that it will work when the cache is cleared/bypassed until another reload and never after that(after it's been cached again). It's almost as though Firefox is getting corrupted caches or the site's causing the cache to corrupt or... I don't even know. If this were isolated to me I'd live with it but it's affecting some other people using this site as well so I can't just ask them to disable caching/use SHIFT+CLICK every reload.
Alright, upon further investigation IP.Board works fine, IP.Content pages(my homepage) is the only one suffering from the problem. I would bring the issue to their support but this is still localized to Firefox and the website AFAIK hasn't changed in operation at all recently. No modifications to the page, the server, the domains, anything. Is there something IP.Content might be doing/any site could do that would cause FF do function like this? JavaScripts won't function and CSS, unless inline, isn't functioning either.
I assume that it works better in a New Private Window?
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
I'm using Avast at the moment. It was very recently installed but this problem was definitely occurring before the AV change.
I made a new profile and like with my default profile, it loaded fine the first time but once the cache was built it broke.
Also, I thank you for your help. I've been searching w/o luck for days now.
Haha, is all hope lost? I would just switch back to Chrome but I prefer FF and as I said other people on the site are having the same issue.
EDIT: I'd also like to make a correction, it's not specific to certain pages on the site and it never has been apparently, my mistake.

can i get a bump on this please? i'm having the same issue. recently bought a new laptop with w8 on it, downloaded firefox etc and it worked for a bit but then the pages displayed are as D-Technodude posted. i've been clearing my cache every day because of it but i want a permanent fix please! i use avast, no FF addons or anything and i've never experienced this problem before the last 2 days of having this new laptop with what is probably an updated version of FF. any help appreciated, although i'm guessing by the lack of response for the last few months it means that nobody actually knows?
Do you have a Samsung PC with Samsung Support Center?
