Firefox fails to work

nmmw03

Hi - for some reason, my Firefox has failed to work as of yesterday. When I open it, it just comes up with a black screen where the content should be. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but it still doesn't open up.

I have a screenshot of how it looks when I open it but can't work out how to include with my question.

hello nmmw03, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)

in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode by pressing the shift key while the application is launching & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Thankyou very much for your help - I have done the update and it is now back to working perfectly.
