Partial page text disappears even in fresh profile

Posted September 4th, 2018, 11:48 am

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?

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:

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.

Whitworth, I remember that.

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
