A prior upgrade to Firefox resulted in Firefox no longer properly displaying pages from delta.com. This has been an issue with the 32 bit version for at least one year. Just switched to the 64 bit, version 53.0. Same problem. No improvement.

So far, Delta.com is the only site where I have encountered problems. But others report no problem with the website, using V53.0, 64 bit.

Content is not properly formatted/configured on the page. Blocks of content overlap other blocks. Content that should be side-by-side ends up with left-hand column displaying at the end of (below) the right-hand column

Chosen solution

If you have made changes to Advanced font size settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the Default font size setting "16" and the Minimum font size setting "none" in case the current setting is causing the problem.

  • Options/Preferences -> Content : Fonts & Colors -> Advanced -> Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Options/Preferences -> Content : Fonts & Colors -> Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not getting displayed properly.

I had no problem with the website.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

  • Clear the Cache and
  • Remove Cookies

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

Type about:preferences<enter> in the address bar.

  • Cookies; Select Privacy. Under History, select

Firefox will Use Custom Settings. Press the button on the right side called Show Cookies. Use the search bar to look for the site. Note; There may be more than one entry. Remove All of them.

  • Cache; Select Advanced > Network. Across from

Cached Web Content, Press Clear Now.

If there is still a problem, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Then restart. Poke around safe websites. Are there any problems?

I have followed the instructions. Unfortunately, no improvement.

Even though I cleared the cache and deleted all Delta-related cookies (plus many hundreds of others) when I go to the Delta website it still displays info that I had expected would have been cleared by what I have done.

For example, details of the last itinerary search that I made are still available.

So clearing the cache and deleting cookies has not accomplished what was needed.

BTW... problem exists whether or not I am working in safe mode.

Remove History For One Site

Open the History Manager <Control><Shift> H. In the search bar, enter the name of the site. Right-click on one of the listings and select Forget About This Site. This should remove all information, including any passwords / settings.
