getting a grey world on bing.com... which does not fully load, back ground and tabs for stories do not show up until I click on a new website. and than they only show for a second while the new page loads up.
also, getting a shield for westlaw.com, lawschool.westlaw.com, web2.westlaw.com basically anything that has to do with westlaw.
As a law student I kind of need that site to work from. This is issue is persistent on a windows 7 pc. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest firefox and the issue still remains.
I was having the same issue, on my mac, running mavericks. only after I did a clean mac 2 removal, downloaded and reinstalled firefox. than transfered everything from safari, have I been able to use my mac.
the pc I'm currently working on is for work. I can not depend on my own personal computer to access this. please make sure to advise as to how to fix this problem.
thank you,
Wesley Fornero

What does the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) say about the content blocked by the shield?
If there is a shield icon to the left of the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar then that means that mixed active content is blocked.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem
