All browsers return blank screen for Facebook. All other sites work.

I have 2 macs: iMac and MacBook Pro 17". Both are running the latest version of Mountain Lion (10.8.3), and the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome. Both have the same problem. When I try to open facebook, I get a completely blank window in my browser (regardless of which one). No errors, no spinning wheel, just white screen. I've been all over the net looking for a solution. I'm using https:, I can ping successfully, other sites load fine. I've logged out and logged in using a different user name and the same problem occurred after I went from my personal profile to a Page I manage (which means it changed URLs). I can't go to any facebook URL, not any help articles, etc. I've rebooted my router, rebooted the computer, restarted the browser. I am using a verizon MiFi as my router (my only way to connect to the internet), so if I boot to safe mode I have no way of plugging in to the router using ethernet. The only thing that changes anything is when I disable "javascript", not "java". When I do this, I'm able to browse facebook, but many of the features no longer work, so that isn't a solution.
I hope someone can help me, I'm not a teenager who is missing their friends, I'm a social media consultant and I need facebook to do my job!
Thanks in advance.

I can ping successfully
What IP address do you get for Facebook?

I get a dialog box to allow a cookie from Yahoo mail but it does not respond and locks up the entire browser. All other sites work fine.

The sign in page for yahoo mail wants to set cookies. I get a dialog box that asks to set a second cookie but it is unresponsive, eitehr to check allow or close it. Going to task manage says the site is waiting for input from me but I cannot get the browser to respond in any manner whatsoever.
All other tabs work fine and the yahoo site can be opened with IE fine.

Set up to "Ask me every time" in the Privacy elections. I think I found the problem. Looks like there were two dialog boxes, the second right on top of the first so I could not check the first one so it never got the OK and kept waiting for input.
Seems OK now.

Please help, I've tried everything! Gmail won't open, it just endlessly cycles and rarely even gives me an error message: all other sites work fine (Windows 8).

All sites work fine except Gmail will not load. I prefer Firefox, but to be fair, Chrome and IE are doing the same thing when I try to use them. Occasionally Gmail will pop up, most of the time it just endlessly cycles and I don't even get an error message. I'm going to have to get rid of gmail if this goes on.
It's maddening! I've tried everything I could find on mozilla support--restarted in safe mode, clear cache, cookies, etc. This is a brand new Windows 8 laptop. It started a few weeks after I got it. There is nothing else wrong with it, it had a fresh new OS installed before I got it. Please help! Thanks so much.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

I cannot get Facebook to load. All other sites work fine. It will load if I disable all add-ons, but I have been unsucesssful determining which add-on is causing the problem.

I can get FB to load without problems in other browsers.

Wow so dramatic, sorry that just seemed an odd way to start a message. I would first recommend trying to perform a system restore. This hardly ever fixes any thing, but it is the easiest thing to try. Go the start menu >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> System Restore. Then choose the date that is before the system started acting weird.
If that doesn't help yeah try a repair install of LabVIEW on what ever versions are acting funny.

Can't connect to a site - all other sites working fine

Bizarre problem here: I can't connect to one particular site from my iMac. I have a WiFi network, using an Apple Airport Express. I can connect to this same site from my MacBook, connected to the same WiFi network.
Has any one encoutered this same problem before?

Have you tried resetting Safari or clearing the cache (vs a full reset)? The command is in the Safari menu. My wife's PC sometimes has a similar problem with IE occasionally and requires the cache to emptied to fix it.

You mentioned you used the Cleaner Tool to uninstall everything, but still have Adobe App Manager (AAM) installed? Please try running the Cleaner Tool again (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)

Just downloaded 10.5. It gives me a blank screen for the itunes store. No error message. Internet connection fine. Have checked firewall. Any ideas?

I have just downloaded 10.5. it gives me a blank screen for the itunes store. No error message. Internet connection fine and I have checked my firewall settings. Any ideas? Or is the store blocked because of ios 5 release today?

I've had the exact same issue since late last night since I downloaded 10.5
I'm also having problems backing up my iPhone, which I suspect is due to the same issue.
I've tried all recommended solutions on forums and Apple support (deleting backups, restarting phone/computer, disabling/uninstalling third party security software, testing port connectivity) and none of them work.
I will try japiohelp's solution and see if that does anything.

Hello, my iphone 5s fell, thereafter i tried taking a picture, the camera app just shows a black screen and hangs, the front camera works on other apps (such as facetime and skype) but the rear camera is not working, all other apps work perfectly well, how do i resolve this

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If problem persist, make an appointment with genius bar for evaluation.

I just asked for help with the problem that ebay is my home page and firefox 7 will not load ebay, but will load all other sites. Then it sends me on this loop back to this same page with no help. I'm not all that computer literate, and I need help!!!

The problem is simply this...www.ebay.com/ is my homepage. But, Firefox 7 can't load ebay, for some reason on my computer. I have checked other computers, and ebay is working. My computer loads all other sites.

What to do if the screen is stuck on the draft screen? I was writing a mail, saved it as draft, then later, was able to send it. However, the screen did not revert to the inbox page. The draft page seems to be hung or stucked. Safari and all others are working ok though.

I sent the draft to myself several times. That did not seem to be working, but when I opened Mail this morning, it has been sent all of the times and the Mail screen is no longer frozen.

[solved] Blank screen for few seconds between GDM and Gnome-Shell

Hi there,
I don't know if this phenomenon is "normal" or not, so I ask : I am using Gnome 3.6 and after I have logged in on GDM I see a blank screen for roundabout 3 seconds before the gnome-shell starts. The whole system is running fine - so this is no "real" problem -, but this 3 seconds of a black screen between GDM and the gnome-shell are somewhat annoying and I want to find out if this behaviour is normal or not .
Indeed, if I look into journalctl, I find this messages:

Actually, I don't know if this is relevant for my little "black-screen" problem (but it looks as if ...).
And
$ systemctl status gdm.service
shows nothing to worry about (as far as I can see):

Any ideas, what's going on here?

Finally I found out what's going on - and it's so simple
It's just my monitor which is runing on a default resolution of 1920x1080. When I switched to 1600x900 using Gnome's system tools, the monitor needs roundabout two seconds to adjust to this resolution
