On only one of my computers (and only in Firefox 16) adsense text ads show up on my sites and most other sites with adsense now with only large headlines of the ads (the text of the ads only appear after you hover over the headline.).

I see this only happening on one of my computers with Firefox 16. In all other browsers and computers, adsense appears normally, and also normal in IE and Chrome.

I cannot find anything in my firefox settings or add-ons that would be different or causing this.

I'm not interested in blocking the ads. I'm asking why Firefox 16 would be showing a different format of them.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
