The Chinese characters are part of a favorite, they appear on the monitor 1 when I see videos on the monitor 2.

Any solution?

The McAfee SiteAdvisor extension has been reported to cause this. Disable it and see if that helps.

If it turns out not to be the McAfee Site Advisor extension, you can often troubleshoot problems like this by restarting Firefox in Safe Mode.

Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Firefox will close and present a dialog box - Select Restart in Safe Mode (Do not select Reset Firefox).

If you're able to view normally there is likely a problem with another Add-on Theme or Extension.  You can then disable Add-ons one by one and perhaps find the culprit.

Your screen resolution is likely wider than many other users (> than 1366) and requires scrolling.  Consider uploading smaller width photos if the additional width adds no usable information.

The problem kept happening sporadically.
Then one day I noticed there was a huge amount of .db files scattered in folders, including in the work area.
The files were thumbs.db and other similar names, after a long manual inspection in all folders FF cameback to normal.
So some months after at end of a google work, I saw the Mr.G in action doing sabotage in FF at my PC.
The .db files were illegally installed on my PC by Google.
The files contain programing, tags and a long plethora of FF favorites details.
