You could try the User Agent Switcher Firefox plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59), to 'pretend' that it's running on Windows. Some websites try to detect what browser/OS you're running and display the page differently. It's the main cause I can think of if you're running the same browser on two different OSs. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
