Firefox displaying issues

Postby vonPeterhof » Wed Oct 14, 2015 9:08 am

Starting from yesterday the forum has looked like this to me in Firefox:
screen LL.jpg

The only clickable objects in that list of topics are the small visible parts of the "unread posts" circles.

I normally use Firefox because it contains my favourite Japanese popup dictionary, Rikaisama. I'm logged in through Chrome right now and there are no problems here, but I still wonder why this happened. Has anyone else who uses Firefox experienced this?

Firefox here too (41.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.9.5); no problems. I've never seen Firefox act that way with phpBB; interesting. Any chance you have a new user add-on? Maybe something malicious you picked up? Did you just upgrade Firefox?

I'd do the usual things to debug it -- clear cache, restart browser, deactivate add-ons, safe mode...

I used the blue one, but switching to we_universal seems to have fixed it! Well, either that or doing everything suggested by pir :)

Either way, thanks for the responses, eveyone!

Speaking of which, I was hoping to switch the default theme to we_universal at some point, because it feels a bit more modern and has better top-of-screen navigation. Of course, if we did this, we'd still keep the default theme available for people who prefer it.

As for this problem, could it have been a Firefox extension or an ad blocker that got confused?

Beats me. I use NoScript and I did update Rikaisama very recently, but the former didn't indicate any scripts being blocked on this site, and switching them both off did nothing to fix the problem.

Besides the NoScript add-onn do you have another app installed that could be affecting the browser?
