For the past month or so, I'd say about 20% of the websites I visit using Firefox just show a blank, white screen. (See allbirds.com site image attached for example.)

1. Cleared the cache and cookies to see if that fixed it. It didn't. 2. Entered Troubleshoot Mode to see if that fixed it. It didn't. 3. Disabled all extensions to see if that fixed it. It didn't. 4. Disabled "recommended performance settings" and hardware acceleration--in combination with some of the above--to see if that fixed it. It didn't. 5. Reinstalled Firefox to see if that fixed it. It didn't. 6. Also paused/disabled VPN (Nord) and anti-virus (McAfee) to see if that made a difference. It didn't.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

I use a container dedicated to my Gmail logins with two accounts. However, since earlier this week, the container no longer loads Gmail at all, simply showing a blank, white page. Has Google broken Firefox containers by chance? Anyone else having this issue?

When I click on a website the page is completely blank. Not loading, no error message, just white. It happens on a lot of web pages but not all of them. Youtube is fine but a lot of others dont. there doesnt seem to be any pattern to the type of websites that dont work. sometimes the website will work the first time but if I close the tab and then click on the link again it wont work. It seems like the code of the website has somehow been deleted? (see photos). Ive tried disabling literally every extension I have and reloading the page but nothing happens.

Linkedin feature "View in Recruiter" action does not work, tab is blank

When working on Linkedin main page I continually have a problem with a Linkedin function that allows you to view a person on the LinkedIn Recruiter site (if you have an account). There is a button on the profile called "View in Recruiter" that when selected, launches a new tab that opens linkedin Recruiter to view that person. When I use in Firefox, it works maybe 10% of the time. It is a HUGE impact on my productivity. Are there incompatibility issues with LinkedIn?

When "View in Recruiter" is selected, Firefox opens a new tab that says "about:blank" and the page will not launch. How do I resolve this?

Hello,

I use Firefox as my default browser on my personal laptop. Recently, several websites that I frequent appear blank when I go to the url. I've checked my network connectivity and the websites as well. None are broken. The interesting thing is that I get the same issue when using edge. Anything else I can troubleshoot? Thanks!

Ever since the last update, Firefox doesn't open the homepage automatically. Unless I click the home button (or click another bookmark), the browser just times out without loading anything. I tried opening in troubleshoot mode but the same thing happens there too -- nothing loads. I tried refreshing, but all that did was change the toolbar a bit (removed the home button, so I needed to restore it). I haven't been able to find anything in the settings that would account for this behavior. Help!

Lately I have been having an issue on Firefox with YouTube stopping and buffering after one minute. This occurs on all videos but only on Firefox. YouTube runs fine on other browsers.

I have tried changing the resolution and disabling ad blockers, but without resolving the situation. I am using the most recent build of Firefox. I have also expanded the size of the cache (after clearing it), but that did not help.

I can't seem to find any real help with this online, and I would appreciate any assistance anyone can give me.

Thanks!!

For almost a year now I've been experiencing constant locking up of certain functions on Firefox for Android at the start of a browsing session. Sometimes this also happens mid-session with certain websites (mostly noticed with 9gag and Reddit).

The failure takes the following form:

  • The current page usually fails to load. Or, it appears to load but is not scrollable. Simple pages may be fully scrollable but links or buttons will not work.
  • Tab cannot be changed either through the swipe gesture or the selection menu.
  • Settings menu can be opened and settings can be changed - this includes extensions management as well.
  • If the current tab is closed in the tab selection menu the purple selection box will disappear along with the tab and no new tab can be selected.
  • After 2-3 minutes all of the tab-related actions will suddenly update at once.

Over the past few months I have discovered two ways to work around this incredibly frustrating persistent issue.

  • Open Extensions, disable or enable an extension, then exit the extension management
  • Open About:Memory and trigger a GC cleanup
  • Minimizing and reopening the app has no effect
  • Shutting down and launching the app has no effect
  • Restarting the device and launching the app has no effect
  • Performing a memory cleanup in Android settings has no effect.

Leaving the device alone for 15-30 minutes seems to make it eligible to re-trigger. This problem is intermittent (not occurring every time) but consistent in its symptoms.

I experience this issue at least once a day on two devices, but much more commonly on my Samsung A9 tablet with 8GB of memory compared to an Android smartphone with 4GB of memory. I suspect this may have something to do with site memory being held onto or being kept active which is blocking navigation until it gets cleaned up or is refreshed, but I have no idea.
