Clicking a link from Gmail opens a blank white page
If I open a web page from on a link in Gmail, the page opens completely blank - all white. No amount of refreshing the page helps. I tried safe mode with the same result. I cleared the cache, same result. The only AV I have is the default Win-10 defender. I have also tried this from Chrome and Edge and they open just fine. I do have the latest Firefox - 62.0.3. This is quite frustrating and has been happening for quite some time (several months at least) - I was hoping this would simply go away with future updates. Thanks, Graeme

Ahh - I found the problem. Actually not a problem really. The link(s) were PDF files and FF option was set to just save the file - my download folder had many 20 copies of the same PDF documents. I changed the option to view in FF and that's fixed that.
It would help if there was a message popped up that the file had been saved or downloaded, rather than just a totally blank screen.

I believe in safe mode, all extensions are disabled. So that's not my issue here.
