Suddenly it's all textual on my desktop with Firefox

Not sure what it is I could've done, I don't understand it.
Suddenly my whole seller page is all text, maybe I should reinstall Firefox?

Often that is the result when style sheets are not loading correctly: unformatted, left justified text, sometimes accompanied by a few large icons (check marks or chevrons on a desktop computer, flags on a mobile device).

 

If the same page loads correctly in another browser or a private or incognito browser window, try clearing your cache in the original browser. If that does not help, try manually erasing just your eBay cookies.

Page failed to load properly.  Common issue, can be caused by a momentary outage, or a DNS routing error.

 

  • Try forcing a browser refresh (CTRL-ALT-R or CTRL-Shift-R)
  • Restart Windows - (use the Restart option, not Shut Down - very important)
  • Use a different browser

Don't reload it.  Try closing it and clearing the cache before restarting.

Due to the size and complexity of the eBay websites, it is quite possibly  a momentary 'glitch'.  That said, I'd restart my computer first thing.  If it continues, is it happening on other sites also (CNN, Amazon, ESPN)?  Does your computer have the latest updates?  Is it happening on your phone also?  As someone earlier stated, try another browser (Chrome, Safari, etc).

I have this happen every so often. Clear your cache and browsing history and that should clear it up.

   I have this happen every once in awhile. I usually just refresh the page if I'm too busy to clear cache, browsing history etc. I use Chrome and it works for a short term fix.

  Lets me know it's time to clean things up..................

Yeah it works good on Chrome but I'm annoyed because that's the browser I use for my buying account.
I've restarted the browser and the systme, I'm on Linux.
