Normal for me Dub. That looks like a client side problem - ie your end - failing to load all the formatting. It can happen simply if your wifi is running slow, but it may be worth trying a different browser like chrome ?

Firefox these days has a very small market share so - and despite the above it could very well be - if the problem is at their end, I expect it’s low in the pecking order for testing changes etc.

Again, I’d suggest chrome if you want to avoid this sort of thing. It’s dominant.

Edit - Microsoft edge, opera, Samsung’s browser and others are all based on the chrome architecture. It will be the first target for web developers. @Two Headed Boy is one iirc and I am pretty sure he will confirm. That and safari.

This is true

Yes sell out to.... well Chrome is a huge no-no, you're already linked at the belly-button with Android, give away the rest of your transitory data to Google. No.

I'm no better really with a Samsung. But what choice do we have?

My only obvious link to Google is an email account for my YouTube channel although it's not my real name. Haven't figured a way round that yet.
'Protonmail' for email.
'Proton' for vpn.
'Brave' for browsing.
'Here we go' for maps.

Fair point. If that’s a concern, then the other browsers I mentioned are based on the Chrome architecture and should be broadly compatible. The Samsung browser is one.

Per @Bangkokhibby Brave is probably your best bet here, it too is is built on the Chrome architecture. These are called ‘chromium browsers’ if anyone has any interest in googling for more.

There are other options if you really want to be anonymous but unless you are a gun runner or drug dealer I wouldn’t suggest it’s worth it.
