Blank screen Real Player Browser Record plug-in extension can cause the web page to go blank. See Noah_SUMO's illustrated answer in this thread to disable Real Player Browser Record plug-in extension: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/557689#threadId558168

The RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension adds some extra features like saving media files.

Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/557689? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/459823 https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/446905? https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&comments_parentId=472596 http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/461211 http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/376867
