Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

The problem does not recur in Safe Mode. Thank you. So I'll be working on troubleshooting which add-on is causing the problem.

I'm not sure if an add-on could case this ti happen.
This could be hardware acceleration in Firefox or possibly a permission or sandbox issue.

You can set this pref to 3 or lower on the about:config page to reduce the sandbox security level.

  • security.sandbox.content.level = 3 (or 2 or 1)
  • close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
