Our hospital EHR software has a feature that will display the text of a nurses note when a button is clicked in the documents library for the patient. When the button is pressed using FireFox, the window appears, the text appears for a split second and then the box is blank. This feature works well in IE 10 & 11, also in G Chrome and in all browsers the window displays 'about:blank' in the address line. Many of our users (me included) prefer FF and if this issue can be resolved, it would be a real help. I've tried various things recommended by others online; safe mode testing (Neg), clearing cache (Neg), displaying the details window in a tab (Neg).

Did you post this from one of those computers? If not, what is your computer system and Firefox?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,

I did try the steps for the note details window in FF safe mode. That was mentioned in the original problem details. Here is the requested support information from the clipboard:

I had to dump some of the printer data to keep the reply under 10k words.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions do not block content. There is security software that can interfere with loading content, so check that as well.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
