my desktop machine(s) running Linux Mint 18.2 and Firefox browser won't open the website for Trek Bikes UK properly. I have tried disabling all of the Ad-Blockers and Popup Blockers I usually run with to no avail. I normally run in Private mode but have tried running in normal mode and again it doesn't work. What should open with graphics and moving images merely opens with a text presentation and the links within the page largely do nothing. It has been like this since Friday to my knowledge but as I didn't try to access it from either of these machines before then I don't know if the site has ever been OK for them.
Surprisingly, it works properly on my mobile phone, an Android one. I suspect, but can't prove it, that the mobile phone opens up a largely separate set of pages to those that a desktop machine browses.
At the beginning of last week I went to the website on another Linux Mint machine, an old laptop, also running Firefox browser which opened the website as you would expect. I would try it again but the laptop is 5 hours drive away!
I have tried to find something in the Firefox menus to check if I have the latest version of the browser but can't find it. It used to be in "About".
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
