Wireframe Firefox

Post by OldGrantonian »

I use FF 61.0.2 in Win 10 Pro.

I'm in the process of changing from Chrome.

Many sites in FF seem very bare compared with Chrome. For example in Chrome, this forum is all light blue and darker blue, with a narrow green bar at the top, under "mozillaZine".

But in FF, the background is white, with narrow black lines to separate the posts. The old term was "wireframe".

I don't see any mention of this feature in the FAQ or in the first two pages of posts.

Please advise.

Thanks.

The usual reason is that first reason above - Menu>View> Page Style being set to No Style.

Due to the fact that I'm the only person reporting this bug, I took the easy way out and uninstalled FF.

I re-downloaded from the site, and installed. It was immediately obvious that the install dialogs were much more fancy and gushing than the dialogs I saw a couple of days ago. According to Control Panel, the current version is now 61.0.2. (I notice that my OP says "6.0.2". I don't know if that was a typo or genuine.)

Anyway, the problem is solved. This forum (and other sites) now look the same as in Chrome.

Thanks for your help.
