Flashing white screen with design on it

more options

I keep getting this flashing white screen appear when I'm online. It happens randomly though. I usually try and keep hitting esc for it to stop. After it stops flashing, I can use the mouse, but I mostly just quit the browser when this happens. It started a couple weeks ago. I've never seen it before.. so not sure if it's the browser, or my computer is gonna crap out soon..

Thanks!

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?


You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

I will have to try it, thanks! The white screen comes randomly, so I can't really test it anywhere.
