Interface completely empty on mac OSX. Impossible to use and restore the browser with new installation. How can I fix it?
I'm a developer. Debugging on Firefox 39 (for Osx in a virtual machine) some script lock interface then, I force close Firefox. When I reopen Firefox I can't se all windows/dialog content. They have white content (no toolbar, no border and styles). I think that the content is only invisible because if I drag a window I can see a little preview and if I start in safe mode I can press refresh button by click on the button region. I try a new installation, but I can fix the problem. I try also removing all firefox reference in file system.
Ho can i fix it?

First check to make sure that there are enough free resources in the VM to run Firefox. It sounds like its having troubles loading the graphics. Try these tips to minimize memory if the VM does not have much resource adjustment.

Second, if its not a resource, make sure that the drivers are up to date. Disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox will also give a clue if its due to this:

I am still trying to find a bug where this is reported in bugzilla.
