FF conflict with Neowin

[edbro]

Every now and then I will lose the background in Neowin's forums. If I copy over a backup of my profile, they will look correct again. I can't figure out what is doing it though because I will get this problem without adding any extensions or themes before the problem occurs. Something in my profile is changing though to cause the problem.

Here is what I am talking about:

Here is what it should be in my browser:

Has anybody else seen this?

whenever this happens to me, i just have to change the theme to a diferent color and then it fixes

I used to get that problem but i dont get it anymore

It is wierd because it only happens at Neowin and only in the forums.

I tried refresh many times and that doesn't work for me. I also tried changing my Neowin theme (from Blue to Classic) and that didn't work. As I said, the only thing that works is to restore my profile from a backup.

Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Clear All

Reload Firefox and it works again. Its something to do with conflicting cache I think.

Anytime. It's annoying and I don't know why it does it but that always fixes it for me :)

hmm...must be a windows only bug in firefox...I haven't ever gotten it on my machines (running the linux version)

Okay, based on what Radish just said, I figured out what is causing it for me. If I run CrapCleaner while FF is running, I get the problem every time. I have Crapcleaner set to clear FF's cache. If I run Crapcleaner again after shutting down FF, it is good again (clearing the cache as Radish suggested).

So, it appears to cause a conflict in FF's cache if you clear it while FF is loaded.

I just refresh and it sorts it

I posted it was CCleaner in another thread. If I would have seen this thread before now I could have saved you the trouble. :rofl:

Oops. Sorry. I'm more of a "look at the pictures" instead of reading kind of guy.

[EduardValencia]

I get this sometimes too, never thought about conflicting cache though.
