For the past few weeks I've had a problem with the Vanguard login page located here:
https://secure.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/Login

In Firefox it doesn't render correctly or completely:



The ordinary Vanguard site works fine but as soon as I go to the login page it fails, even with all add-ons like NoScript, Ublock Origin & Privacy Badger turned off & cookies cleared. It works fine in Vivaldi & Brave.

Any one have any ideas how I can resolve this?

Have you tried CTRL+F5 to force a proper refresh of the page?

Yes, many times. No change.

Have you tried a fresh FF profile?

My very vanilla install loads that URL with no problems.

Not sure if it's related, but the latest version of Firefox (v.79) caused problems with one of our own web applications. Something about it didn't like repeated background which made a right mess of rendering the pages.

We found everything displayed OK if you opened a new private window, but that wasn't a viable option for any of our customers who may use FF.

Might be worth trying for yourself, though ?

In the end, we modified all the affected web pages..

I've tried disabling every add-on & opening in a Private Window & it makes no difference. I'll try a fresh profile sometime.

I know, it seems fine in Vivaldi & Brave. Interestingly I've just tried opening the page in Chrome & get the same issue as Firefox. The Chrome installation is up to date & totally vanilla with no extensions installed.
