Firefox failure (IT'S BACK)

(1/1)

Tinker:
UPDATE III:  I'm not at Firefox 67.0.3 and the site is still doing the same thing.

UPDATE II:  The site is doing the same thing again after the upgrade to Firefox Version 67.0.  The odd thing, to me at least, is that it only goes awry if I come in from a search engine, Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo all give me unformatted pages.  Bookmarked it looks and works fine.  Going to NWKA AOTY from a search engine and then to the main site works, too.

NCKA doesn't do this.  Is there something new in the NWKA site trackers and analytics that could be causing this?  We load a whole truckload of trackers and analytics whenever we launch this site in a browser and something has changed recently.

Oh crap!  It's doing it with Chrome Version 74.0.3729.169, too.


UPDATE: Apparently I flipped some digital switch that made Firefox lose it's mind when displaying NWKA (and only NWKA, so it's not all MY fault).  A simple Control Panel uninstall doesn't remove all hints of Firefox - which now concerns me somewhat - and doing that, plus a re-install, carries the problem into the new installation.  I had to manually delete several "ghost" folders, then edit the system registry, and then search out several hidden folders that still contained scraps of Firefox.

And here I thought Mozilla was the kinder organization.  Not!

Anyway, it's fixed and if anyone else has a similar problem, let me know and I'll explain how to completely free yourself of Firefox so you can do a truly clean re-install.

(Psst!  Don't tell Bushy...)

The site started showing up in Firefox with minimal formatting Sunday morning.  It's still like that today.  Seems fine in IE and Chrome.  I haven't changed the browser settings in any of them, but Firefox recently released an update that might be causing the problem.

Is anyone else seeing this:




EDIT:  I should have added that NCKA is not affected and is displaying properly.

alpalmer:
I'm using Firefox v. 66.0.3 right now and everything seems fine.

Tinker:
Thanks!  Same version I'm using, except I'm using the X64 installation if you're not - but that shouldn't make a difference.  I've reset all options and settings to DEFAULT and re-installed Firefox and it hasn't made a difference.  I thought it odd that NCKA displays properly but NWKA will not - and so far, it's only NWKA that won't display as designed.

Curious.

I'll figure it out, and if it's on my side I'll report it here.

alpalmer:
64-bit as well.

Tinker:
I fixed it.  A little bit more detail about what it took to fix the problem is in my original post.
