Garbled Text/Symbols on random websites- Chrome & Firefox

Asked By rasel m 0 points N/A Posted on - 03/23/2012

I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8 with Firefox and Google Chrome browser. Firefox suddenly stopped functioning correctly and crashed for few times after opening it. Google Chrome is working just fine but sometimes it shows a blue page and telling me that something went wrong but sometimes it shows a page like the one I posted below. Can someone please explain why I am encountering this issue? Thank you.

Garbled Text/Symbols on random websites- Chrome & Firefox

I also experienced it before when I was using my sister’s laptop. There are websites that doesn’t display right on Mozilla Firefox like when I visited Adobe’s website, the images appear just anywhere. And also when I visited Yahoo! the problem is still the same. Although the site displays somewhat correctly but checking the mails really gives off some odd behavior which really got me puzzled. The computer is totally clean from virus. Uninstalling and reinstalling the browser doesn’t do any good.

The only solution I found on this problem is to use a different web browser like Opera, or Maxthon, or Google Chrome, whichever will display the sites correctly. So, it would be much helpful if you will install not only 1 web browser on your computer so you can have a variety of tools to use and sometimes an advantage on their browsing speed.
