How can I fix this?

Best Answer

The reason for this is because your browser is not loading the stylesheet, which is hosted on another domain. Possible reasons could be due to the stylesheet domain being blocked or because your browser is failing to get DNS resolution for it.

Try reaching getpersonas.com through a web proxy like:

http://www.zendproxy.com

If the site displays properly via proxy, then try to disable ipv6. To do that in Firefox:

  1. Type about:config in the address bar, press Enter.
  2. Find network.dns.disableIPv6 in the list.
  3. Right-click -> Toggle.
  4. Restart Firefox and try again.

You can also disable ipv6 on the system level, so other browsers don't get affected by ipv6 issues. To do that, open the file /etc/default/grub with an editor:

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Then change the following line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”

With the following line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash”

Then update grub:

sudo update-grub

You can also try a different DNS server like OpenDNS or Google Public DNS.
