Partial page text disappears even in fresh profile

Post by ttggzz »

Hello, I'm stumped, been ignoring this for a while but I'm concerned of missing things when making searches etc. I have a FF profile where the following page opens with a bunch of charts, you have to scroll down to see all the charts and text. In several other profiles, even one I just started fresh and made no changes to, it shows just the top of the page then a phone number that is normally at the bottom [moved to the top of the page].

I also tried this in safe mode, no change. As near as I can tell there is nothing special about the one profile that works. I could site other behaviors, but first could someone try this link and see if it displays normally for you?
http://www.baconsdozen.co.uk/tools/conv ... charts.htm

I took some screen shots but it appears they need to be loaded to an external hosting site?
This should be at the bottom of the page, after scrolling through a bunch of charts and text:
Tel (44) 01472353993 Mobile 07974435627..
If it's near the top with no text or charts to scroll through, you have the same problem as me.
thanks for your time and any info!

OK, this is bizarre. I think I had that complete page mentioned above loaded for a long time, I just put in the link listed above and now it only loads the partial page. The bizarre part is that when I hit the back button/look at history there is nothing there. The page must have changed since I started trying it in other profiles, fortunately I took a [partial] screen shot to prove I'm not crazy :)

So, the "other behaviors" I was talking about, I recently did a search for something, then was looking for the text on the page. Apparently the text I was looking for was under a picture, as I was typing in the "find in page" search area the text was appearing beneath the picture [like a caption]. Without typing in "find in page" the text was invisible. Something is wrong!

If I look at your page source, I see nothing that would indicate "charts".
IOW, from what I can tell, what you are expecting to be there is not - because it isn't there.

So if at some point it was there, the page changed & it is not there - currently.

thanks, yeah I guess I had that page loaded for a loooong time. I reloaded it and discovered my mistake [see my second post]. A bit embarassed!

Is that a screenshot you posted? How did you do it? I didn't see any options when I was posting.
thanks
