Hi. I am running Firefox 38.0.5-1 from the arch "Extra" repository. As up to date as I can get - I am obsessive about updating. This display problem started as soon as I installed the system. Of course, I almost immediately installed firefox-noscript upon install also. I have not used any other browser with Arch, I am really trying to keep a relatively lean setup. About http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - I believe I have see and read this before - various incarnations of this have been around for years. Interesting, and good to keep in mind. Regarding http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load I did do some searching using an internet search engine. I did not come across this link, but that's because the problem was not that the images weren't loading. It was the superimposed rectangles. I didn't think of javascript blocking being the problem, as it would not occur to me to let javascript run free on my system unsupervised. I thought initially that it might be a case of some character set not being installed. So it might be a good thing that I asked early on. I hate to think how much time and effort I might have wasted on that sort of "snipe hunt"! May I suggest that technical research requires a certain kind of brain wiring, and above all, considerable patience. If you have that, be thankful - and please try to be understanding of those who are no so blessed. Finally, when I did: firefox --help | grep profile I was treated to this sweet little error message: GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed -P <profile> Start with <profile>. --profile <path> Start with profile at <path>. (with a different PID referenced each time). Now let me do some research on that for a while. If I figure it out, I'll let you know . . . Cheers!
