Pressing backspace and getting blank page.
Not sure what's wrong, but lately when I go to my previous search in Google, by pressing backspace, I get a blank page about half of the time. The web address is right, but it won't display my search. Usually this occurs when I'm in a new tab. Note, this hasn't been an issue in other browsers I have used.
Thanks for your help!

This could be a problem with the(disk) cache. You can check via the about:cache page if the caches are enabled and working. You can open about: pages via the location/address bar.
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

Hello, any luck if you delete the user.js file in your profile folder ?
The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then delete the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create and write in the file also).
Check also if you have the same behavior in firefox safe mode.
thank you

I tried both ideas and it turned out it was the cache. It was hanging at the limit of 349mb.
Thank you all!
