Firefox does not render youtube correctly

My firefox can not render many sites correctly, e.g. youtube:

or and stachexchange:

I use plaint firefox without any extensions. I have removed ~/.mozilla directory many times and tried to run it as different users. Nothing helped. I have also tried to open them with flashplugin uninstalled and It didnt help. I tried to reinstall firefox with all its dependencies (acquired by pactree -u firefox) -- It did not help either.

I have checked those sites using Chromium on Arch and  Firefox on Windows 7 and everything worked perfectly.
What is strange I had similiar problem on Debian but I thought it was Debian Unstable fault and reinstalled arch.

I am out of ideas and I could really use a little help.

Re: Firefox does not render youtube correctly

It looks like the css files aren't being downloaded/applied. Are you behind a router or a firewall? See if you can browser to the css files (open up the page source and click on a link to a .css file)

Completely clearing your Firefox cache and cookies might help:

In the application menu navigate to Firefox > History > Clear recent history, select "Time range: everything" and keep only "Cookies" + "Cache" checked, then hit clear.

It was problem with DNS not working correctly under Linux. As a result of that firefox was unable to fetch CSS and failed silently -- which is freaking bad practice!
