Title: Firefox Views of Wikipedia
Post by: alfred russel on June 02, 2013, 06:03:58 PM
I usually use firefox to surf the net, but today it started showing wikipedia in a somewhat distorted format (pictures appear at the bottom of the text rather than embedded to the right as they should and "edit" written next to headings as a couple of examples).

Internet explorer shows the articles normally.

Does anyone know how to make firefox go back to the old way of showing wikipedia?

Does this look right to you?

It seems ok to me...

Do you have the latest version?  Did you install any add-ons?  If you force-reload (SHIFT+Reload button) does it correct itself?

Whoa...I have the latest version, and don't think I installed add-ons, and when I first clicked your link it didn't look right....

But then I force reloaded like you suggested, and now it is right. I don't know what happened, but the problem is fixed. Thanks.  :hug:
