Fire fox Problem, this is a weird one.

[Brickwizard]

I run FF as my browser on all four machines, they all have FF sync, so what is weird?
When I log on to parrot sec, on one of the laptops it is well oversize see pic, I installed chrome to the laptop and I get a perfect page,i have played with the screen settings to no avail,I have also had a search through the systems and cant see anything wrong, does any of you have an inkling what's going on.?

Have you tried ( ctrl - ) ?

only thing that comes to mind is the display settings may be set for larger fonts etc which may be giving you an issue. I have strange things in firefox also, only one of my systems does this. If you right click a link like you are going to open in new tab, if the option for new tab is too close to the top of the screen it is not reachable or clickable even though it is visible. So perhaps you have a glitch like I do. I wish I had more because it would be nice to help you like you do others.

In display settings, take a look at scaling...in Linux Mint it is called 'User interface scale'

Is Parrot blocking scripts or CSS?

Probably your distro introduced FF bug. I run FF (128.0 ESR) in restricted mode and icons are displayed correctly.

not that i am aware of

Thanks for your thoughts folks,
what gets me is its only on one machine, running the same version of FF as the others, all sync to run the same add-ons, and only effecting one internet site. Even then occasionally it will open normally, and even run normally, then when I close it down to do something else and come back to re-open it, it throws a wobbly.
Any other thoughts appreciated

When I load that page it looks fine for me, I am using Firefox as well but I don't have an account there but I don't think it will make a difference for me.

@Brickwizard
Does the issue persist in private browser window?

Also does it persist with extensions temporarily turned off?

 

[Brickwizard]

private browser window?

I have tried it in all options new tab, new container, new window, new private window, I have tinkered with display settings, FF resolution, and I have uninstalled FF, re booted and reinstalled and the fault still persist, but as i said only in FF and only on one machine and only on the one website [that I have seen so far]

 

[CaffeineAddict]

and I have uninstalled FF

Did you purge it first?
if not try CTRL + F5 on the web page.

Other than this I don't know what else to suggest.

You got me running in the right direction ,Thanks,
First I tried refreshing the page [as i have done before] no good
so I tried refreshing the page without cache that worked, when I did a normal refresh it was back to oversize, So after a bit more digging I did Ctrl+shift+R [found on another site] and it seems to have worked, so looks like a problem with FF cache on that one machine , so now I have deleted all the web pages in the cache, to see if it comes back

I knew one of you would think of something I had not..
Thanks All
will let you know if it throws another ..
