Wordpress Issue: Site broken in Firefox

supereek · Sep 6, 2019

Hi,

I have the weirdest issue. I have a naked Wordpress site on a new host. When I open it in Firefox (my browser of choice) it looks completely sh#t, see image here:

Same site but opened in Chrome or Edge:

On mobile, it opens normally in all mobile browsers. I tried 2 other PC's with Firefox = all same output. I changed IP and even DNS servers, still can't find the problem.

Anyone seen this before?

Open your site in Firefox, Press F12, go to network tab and post a screenshot of your network tab here. Should be a small css problem (probably, your css file is not loading properly).

Just uninstall firefox and reinstall it, it will resolve

Seems like 2 elements are taking way too long to load but they get '200' status, however they don't seem to be rendered by the browser. I reinstalled Wordpress now 4 x times.. 3 through Softalicious and 1 manual installation. Issue remains.

Tried on 2 different computers, I don't think both are having a corrupted Firefox on them.

Seems as if you are missing some css. Check to see if the css files are being loaded properly in the developer console. If they are being loaded correctly, then you may need to add some mozilla specific styles.

Are there any other errors in the browser console that would prevent execution of the css?

do check your server settings as well, it may be something there as well,

Quite sure one of those two scripts is the culprit. The two you pointed out in the screenshot are the script and style concatenator for wordpress. What you can do is switch off concatenation for all the styles (for debug only.. I forgot the code used for that.. probably configurable from wp-config.php) and check individual files. One of those stylesheets are having problem.

Also, could you try disabling adblock please? Does that work?

Sorry if this is a noob answer............
Why don't the Op just install a new theme?

If the console does not report any error, try with installing a different theme.

Did you just install a caching plugin?

Tried with different theme, same issue.

Nope it's a clean Wordpress install.. no content or plugins yet.

I asked the hostinger support and they say they don't know, on their end seems to be working fine.

Okay I found the problem.. and it makes no sense to me but still.

I put my phone 4G as wifi hotspot and connected to it. Then opened the site and everything opens normally.

My home internet doesn't open it, my office (at work) internet doesn't open it as well (neighter from my personal laptop as from my Work-Desktop). This is very weird.
