Google Maps suddenly displaying black

Ron Poulin

Google maps displays a map and then, a few seconds later the map goes black. I found an archive thread called "Google Maps suddenly displaying black" where it is suggested to use ctrl+F5 to bypass the cache. That solution works but then, a few seconds later: Boom, the map goes black.

Seems to me that when the page is refreshed by a script in the map that whatever gets downloaded corrupts the map and then when the refresh occurs, the map goes black.

What ever this "corruption is" Firefox fails to display the content correctly. I have killed my cache, disabled extensions, used troubleshooting mode, switched to the "auto" system theme etc. The key combo is the only way to temporarily recover the map. I should also point out that I see differences in the map UI, it looks like Google updated the UI in maps.

amoun,

Thank you for the tip. Nope, the map still goes black after a time. I got a cache disabler add-in and disabled the cache and still, the same.

In case it's some A/B test from G — are you logged into your G account or not?

Can you try the same from new Private Window for comparison?

It is the same black page with private window.

The same black window happens, when displaying pdf files.

What solved it for me was a deinstall/reinstall of Firefox. Bookmarks were a concern to me so, now, I no longer save bookmarks in Firefox in case I need to revert to another browser should the problem resurface.

Some might be affected by GPU/driver version: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2069755
