help most web pages are whacked! update - solved by disabling adblock??? [View all]

Last edited Wed Dec 12, 2018, 10:21 PM - Edit history (1)

started this morning, have tried restarting, got some updates and restarted again. pages have only text like when things load really slow, but are actually loading ok. sites seem mostly functional just no images and the text is all basic and on the left of the screen.

can't load a screen shot I took to imgur - gives me an error code of "server responded with 0 code" WTF?

the only site that seems to work correctly is NOAA??? https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-110.10521&lat=32.02294#.VOtnSS7-UcY

is this a Firefox problem? I have windows 7 pro and not sure what firefox version (need refresher to find that info?)

I updated my above note ... previous version used old pathway mr_lebowski Dec 2018 #11

tried it, no change Kali Dec 2018 #12

Next step is ... do you have any add-ons? mr_lebowski Dec 2018 #14

all I have is adblock... Kali Dec 2018 #15

'server responded with 0 code' means your server has a file size limit. byronius Dec 2018 #3

seems to work in IE?? Kali Dec 2018 #4

hmmm Kali Dec 2018 #5

That's odd. byronius Dec 2018 #7

It had a capcha test or whatever you call it and after I did it, I got the google search results. Kali Dec 2018 #8

I've had that problem before, always seemed to fix itself after awhile. byronius Dec 2018 #10

nothing seems to be working Kali Dec 2018 #13

looks like it was adblock Kali Dec 2018 #16

Yay! Could have just been the wrong version or a corrupted file. byronius Dec 2018 #17
