Whenever opening a new tab, Firefox only shows a blank window. Reloading doesn't help (more accurately, reloading doesn't happen when you try to activate it). This happens everywhere, also on this very website.

Frequency is increasing. It started a few days ago with one tab in 5-10 showing a blank, to 3 or 4 attempts required to open any page.

I've uninstalled Chrome last month because it would always run a single processor core at max capacity, even when Chrome wasn't opened. If you don't fix this, I might end up with with Edge or something. Which stinks, but less than Firefox at this point.

Could the problem be caused by an extension? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

If you can't find an answer any other way, you could test Troubleshoot Mode. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

I had the problem recently with a few pages only. A Greasemonkey script was the problem.

EDIT: That reminded me. You can check with Web Developer tools: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1349234#answer-1440233

You can check for issues caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation that is missing runtime components (Redistributable Packages) required by Firefox, especially VCRUNTIME140_1.dll.

Install both 32-bit and 64-bit "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" downloads, (x86: vc_redist.x86.exe and x64: vc_redist.x64.exe) from https://support.microsoft.com/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
