formatting seems off

When I go to various pages on Meetup.com using Firefox it seems the formatting is off. Pages otherwise seem fine when I am at other websites also not an issue if I use other browsers.

So it is like some extension on Firefox is turned off but only for the pages of Meetup.com.

What could this be?

Note that somehow my computer was reading the smartphone format ... and there was a hidden button to return me to regular computer format (normal viewing).

It just baffled me for three days but now fixed.

Maybe that is something in the future with later versions of Firefox ... to let someone know that they are not seeing the regular view.
