CSS errors in forum

[afrustrum]

Can anyone suggest why the forum displays incorrectly for me in Firefox 25, compared to Opera?

Under Firefox, the navigation bar is invisible (white text on white): "Home         Help    Search    Donate    Profile    My Messages    Members    Logout". I think these are associated with the classes named "maintab_active...".

I've disabled most of my addons and extensions I usually use, but the problem remains, see: http://imgur.com/j25AcSC

Firefox's Web Developer's Web Console lists several errors but I am unable to determine if they are relevant (almost all websites have errors these days).

Mine's fine 
Can you list the addons you use?

Have you tried CTRL+F5 ?

> Can you list the addons you use?

I've just re-enabled all of them after I tested with all addons disabled:

Firebug 1.12.4

Firegloves 1.2.3

Ghostery 5.0.4

QuickJava 2.0.2

Self-Destructing Cookies 0.4.1

Tab Permissions 13.01.01.01

Toggle Proxy 1.8 <-- this one I keep enabled but I always keep it at No Proxy.

Greasmonkey 1.12 <-- I keep this always enabled, but I have no scripts enabled for this forum

Session Manager 0.8.0.8<-- I keep this enabled the whole time

And the only plugin I enable is Shockwave Flash, which I try to disable via QuickJava on all sites except YouTube.

I suspect one or more of these has messed up something persistent in Firefox, so I'll next try a separate vanilla Firefox install.

Also, ctrl-F5 just reloads the page with no difference, as do ctrl-R and ctrl-Shift-R.

Yeah, I think that one of your extensions is messing with the forum's CSS somehow.

I may have isolated the Ghostery extension as one cause.

I created a completely new Firefox profile and re-installed each extension, testing several websites after each one.
Everything was fine until I installed Ghostery, when the images behind this forum's navigation tabs disappeared.
This happened even before I enabled Ghostery's blocking (by default it should block nothing), just installing is enough to mess up the page.
A pity, as I really liked Ghostery's blocking of all the tracking and spyware that's on almost every webpage these days.

I also discovered several extensions have no clean uninstall in Firefox and they leave a mess of configuration settings behind.

Thanks for all the feedback though, I'll keep this Ghostery-less profile only for trusted websites and continue testing in another profile.

I use Ghostery on FF and I don't see what you describe.

I use Ghostery on FF and I don't see what you describe.

I no longer think it's Ghostery because there's no problem when I install Ghostery on a new Firefox profile, even after several other extensions.

Whatever the cause was - and I looked long and hard at all the config settings changed in prefs.js -, it was isolated to the Firefox profile I was using, the only fix that worked was Firefox - Help - Troubleshooting - reset Firefox. That removed all extensions, reset plugins to default, but did keep my bookmarks.

So, I now do not believe the forum website nor Ghostery (nor several other extensions) was the cause, so may I suggest to the mods to mark this thread as closed?
