S_Ontario, are you still having this problem?
I have seen something similar, but only when the computer detects a slow connection. The fact that it is working in IE indicates that is probably not your problem.
According to some searching, I've seen mention of clearing cookies might fix it. (Perhaps GJ thinks you are on a limited browser like a phone, and it is feeding you a mobile oriented site?) To fix this, you can clear your cookies, as well as other browsing history data. Go to Tools>Options>Privacy. In the middle of the window, click the link that says 'clear your recent history.' In the drop-down menu, select 'Everything'. Click the button to the left of 'Details' and make sure all the little checkboxes are checked (especially anything saying cache, cookies, site preferences, etc). Now click 'Clear Now'.
Also some complain that certain setting about your font defaults can cause problems. Go to Tools>Options>Content (it is a tab). In the 'Fonts & Colors' section, select 'Advanced'. Make sure the box next to 'Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above.'
Lastly, (and shouldn't be necessary) you could uninstall and reinstall Firefox itself. If you do choose to go that route, you can save things like your bookmarks. I can walk you through that if need be.
So I either typed that up, and you have already fixed it, or you already knew where to do those things, either way, let us know if you've got it fixed!
