Topic: CSS errors in forum (Read 836 times)
You can lock your own threads.
I use Ghostery on FF and I don't see what you describe.
I no longer think it's Ghostery because there's no problem when I install Ghostery on a new Firefox profile, even after several other extensions.
Whatever the cause was - and I looked long and hard at all the config settings changed in prefs.js -, it was isolated to the Firefox profile I was using, the only fix that worked was Firefox - Help - Troubleshooting - reset Firefox. That removed all extensions, reset plugins to default, but did keep my bookmarks.
So, I now do not believe the forum website nor Ghostery (nor several other extensions) was the cause, so may I suggest to the mods to mark this thread as closed?
Yeah, I think that one of your extensions is messing with the forum's CSS somehow.
I may have isolated the Ghostery extension as one cause.I created a completely new Firefox profile and re-installed each extension, testing several websites after each one.
Everything was fine until I installed Ghostery, when the images behind this forum's navigation tabs disappeared.
This happened even before I enabled Ghostery's blocking (by default it should block nothing), just installing is enough to mess up the page.
A pity, as I really liked Ghostery's blocking of all the tracking and spyware that's on almost every webpage these days.
I also discovered several extensions have no clean uninstall in Firefox and they leave a mess of configuration settings behind.
Thanks for all the feedback though, I'll keep this Ghostery-less profile only for trusted websites and continue testing in another profile.

> Can you list the addons you use?
I've just re-enabled all of them after I tested with all addons disabled:
Firebug 1.12.4
Firegloves 1.2.3
Ghostery 5.0.4
QuickJava 2.0.2
Self-Destructing Cookies 0.4.1
Tab Permissions 13.01.01.01
Toggle Proxy 1.8 <-- this one I keep enabled but I always keep it at No Proxy.
Greasmonkey 1.12 <-- I keep this always enabled, but I have no scripts enabled for this forum
Session Manager 0.8.0.8<-- I keep this enabled the whole time
And the only plugin I enable is Shockwave Flash, which I try to disable via QuickJava on all sites except YouTube.
I suspect one or more of these has messed up something persistent in Firefox, so I'll next try a separate vanilla Firefox install.
Also, ctrl-F5 just reloads the page with no difference, as do ctrl-R and ctrl-Shift-R.

Have you tried CTRL+F5 ?
Mine's fine 
Can you list the addons you use?

Can anyone suggest why the forum displays incorrectly for me in Firefox 25, compared to Opera?
Under Firefox, the navigation bar is invisible (white text on white): "Home Help Search Donate Profile My Messages Members Logout". I think these are associated with the classes named "maintab_active...".
I've disabled most of my addons and extensions I usually use, but the problem remains, see: http://imgur.com/j25AcSC
Firefox's Web Developer's Web Console lists several errors but I am unable to determine if they are relevant (almost all websites have errors these days).
