I have gone to some web sites, that start downloading all kinds of other web sites.
I did nothing but go to that web site.
You are showing Yahoo.
They could be doing this
Hi Bigpup,
I've always set "Show Blank Page" in Forefox>Preferences>General>When Mozilla starts.
I am wondering it is an xorg-related problem, because other browsers never showed this behavior in Phil's (and any derivative) xenials.
But I'll be danged if Firefox57 isn't rendering many a pages with this complete smeared, out-of-focus text, forcing me to constantly reload the webpage.
Was just wondering if anyone else was seeing this mumbo-jumbo using FF Quantum and/or above.
hi belham2,
looks like an add.. are you using an adblocker? are ublock and noscript available for the new firefox yet?
if not try menu>>internet>>pup-advert-blocker
Hi Phil,
I think maybe I explained things wrong. My darn wording could have been better, that's for sure. The popups are normal, for the page your on, they're not adds. Like when on a multi-layered news site, or a multi-layered site like Yahoo, when the links from the main page are hit and up pops the "Sports" section or "News" section, or whatever, that popup nearly 50-60% of the time appears smeared like in the above pic. Yet the underlying main page is fine. And, yes, Ublock Origin is available for FF57 & up, and it is the only thing I have installed and use in terms of add-ons (only because I know the developer).
Anyhow, what's weird is Palemoon and/or Chrome don't show these problems at all, for the exact same web pages. So I am thinking it has to be an internal FF rendering problem, or maybe how the latest Quantums interact with the WM/Desktop OS in displaying pages (specifically popup links from the main page). I could try to drop back to a previous Xorg and see if that does anything.
I guess I am the only one seeing this...
