Reddit acting goofy in FF.

April 29, 2011 6:30 PM

My reddit page suddenly started looking like this. What's going on? I'm on an iMac running Snow Leopard, with the latest Firefox 4.

The page actually loads completely, but as you can see from the photo the margins are completely screwed. I tried it on Safari and Chrome, and reddit loads fine. Firefox seems to be the culprit.

Reddit was having some issues this past week but this seems to be unrelated and I can't seem to find anyone else having the same problem. Is it a cookie thing?

Looks like whatever server has the css is not loading for you. I happens to me on occassion and reloading fixes it. If it doesn't, it means Reddit is probably about to take a nap.

Best answer: Seems like the CSS on the page just hasn't loaded. Have you tried doing a full refresh (cmd+shift+R, I believe)?

Yeah, that just means the css didn't load. Do a force-refresh.

I had a problem with this in chrome and it fixed itself after I stopped stopped adblock from blocking it. It's definitely the stylesheet not loading but I wasn't able to fix it with a simple refresh.

Response by poster: Thanks, that worked. But I don't know why it's doing that in the first place. Now a few other sites are a bit wonky, but the alt-shift-r fixes it.
