Yes, it's an old chestnut this one: various pages loading completely blank. I have no security issues – ran combofix just in case – everything is working OK... except Firefox and its blank pages.

I followed advice given in the following post and there were no suspicious addons:

http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940483

I load these blank pages in IE without any problems - If it’s simply a question of updating Firefox I shall do so, but this shouldn’t be happening in the first place.

When trying to view some video's and widgets I get the error message that a plug in is missing. When I click to install the missing plug in it says no suitable plug in was found. This has been going on for a long time now. I have reported it before. These same video's and widgets work perfectly in my other browser but not in Firefox. The problem must be with Firefox. Can this be fixed please?

I installed the FF ver 21 upgrade this morning. Immediately, I am pestered by the Developer Tools panel incessantly opening up, blocking my view and interfering with whatever webpage I have open.

I didn't mess with any Developer Tool settings -- I wouldn't know what to do there anyway.

Judging by the frequent interval with which this interruption is occurring, I strongly suspect that it is linked to another systemwide problem I'm having under Vista, in which the cursor "jumps" at frequent, short intervals. I have not found any solution to the jumping cursor problem.

However, that problem was NOT previously causing the DT window in Firefox to keep opening up unasked.

This is a new problem and it is most definitely coincident with installing the ver. 21 upgrade.

Any suggestions to TURN OFF the DT function, or, anyone know about the weird jumping cursor in Vista?

Firefox orange button has been missing I upgraded to 20.0. I have since installed the next update as well, still no fix on orange button. Research suggested disabling menu toolbar (which is not a solution for me) I tried this, still no orange button. Another recent development is with the all in one sidebar... The only icons showing are "Display you bookmarks," and Google Lite. The buttons are still there, just no identifying information; no icon, no text. I will not reset firefox, to do this would require more time than I can give. I would switch back to Google Chrome if that is truly my only option. I have been using Firefox for 2 years, switching back would be most undesirable. Thank you for any and all feedback.

After a while not using it, I decided to give Firefox another try. After remembering the hellish issues to get flash going prior (part of the reason I stopped using Firefox for a while), I did a full, clean (down to the registry) reinstall of both Firefox and Flash. I have no flash blockers or ad blockers installed. As soon as I installed the plug in, nothing works just a blank space where the video should be. Tried on multiple sites, same everywhere. I also have IE installed (for work) which has no problems playing the same videos.

I really need a working definitive answer on fixing this issue, before I abandon Firefox all together, which is a shame since I started with Firefox's original beta.

This seems to be a common problem that I can't fix with Java or Flash updates. And I don't have Norton Anti-Virus to turn off. I'm on Windows 7.

Firefox frequently crashes when I close it, or when I close a tab, or even sometimes when it gets stuck in bookmarks, strangely. Here are the recent crash reports - from the last 2 weeks:

I realize there was some huge Java exploitation a few months ago, but I had hoped the upgrades would fix things. I suspect it's crashing b/c some malware is still working on the tab or window I'm trying to close. I use Spybot and MWB to try to keep the browser protected.

Any ideas?

Thanks
