Click Firefox shortcut - 4 secs delay WITH white screen, then firefox loads, also every new tab flashes a white blank page fOR half a sec.

Firefox 31, Windows 8.1, AVG, Spybot, dusabked addins ni change, used several suggestions on internet, nothing works. changed proxy settings to manual 127.0.0.1 and port as suggested - no change, could I have an NSA reroute of firefox?

Before doing anything I started Tor Browser Bundle, then exited. Started up Firefox – no 4 secs delay, very minor delay but no white page at all it seemed. Then clicked on the Open New Tab (x) and saw a white flash then the new tab – again a .5 sec delay or less before the new tab appeared.
Shutdown computer. Restarted and clicked on Fireforx shortcut. No blank white page anymore and no delay except for a very minor one.
But still had the white page flash when loading a new tab from the small x on the current page tab. Saw a white flash, then the new tab loaded. Shut down computer, restarted same problem with the new tab click on the small x - .5 sec or less white flash then tab loads.
Went into Firefox Add-Ons and disabled a number of items. Surprise no white flash on loading new tab. Decided to enable AVG PrivacyFix 5.0.11 – miracle, no white flash at all on clicking the small x on the current tab. loaded veryfast no delay there.
Will alert AVG of this issue. But still very surprised that the original main issue of having a 4 secs delay with a completly whtie screen with nothing on it except white disappeared after launching Tor Web Browser throws me for a loop.
Have not tried BlueHell yet and wonder why I should now in addition to the fact that AVG is certainly far superior to it. But if Bluehell does a better job than AdBlocker, willing to try it.
Problem appears solved – Why did Tor fix main issue?

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

    I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • I want firefox to open the home page when i open a new tab instead of a blank page.

    whenever i open a new tab, it shows me a blank page. i want firefox to go to my home page as soon as i click on new tab button.

    If you want to have a choice of blank or homepage in a new tab, there is a simple way around this.
    Open the Customize window and put the Home button on toolbar if not already.
    Use the middle-click (scroll wheel on mouse) on Home button to open your homepage in a new tab, whenever you want homepage to load in a new tab.

  • Why is it that Mozilla is too dumb to never include a feature, in any new version, with "new window" and "new tab" that copies our visited pages for us like "new window" on IE does?

    Okay, so in IE, when you click "New Window," you get a new window... but not only that, what comes with that is all your previously visited pages from that session. It's helpful because then if you need to copy or compare something from one page you've already visited to one that you're on now, you can have them side-by side, or as in the case with tabs, single-click-by-single-click.
    So why don't you ever make that simple but useful feature for your browser, Mozilla?

    Right, okay, but we shouldn't have to do that if Mozilla would just get a clue, right? So my real question is this: Why can't Mozilla just make that themselves like Microsoft does?
    Maybe Firefox works a bit better than IE except in this regard and with one scrolling problem I just discovered. Am I right?

  • I can not figure out how to set-up my home page so that it starts with Goggle, and then evrytime I open a new tab, it too opens with Goggle. TY 4 any help.

    [email protected]

    Firefox has always opened a blank new tab, if it opened to anything else that would be caused by an add-on. Check your add-ons to see if any offer this feature, or if any were disabled when you updated to Firefox 4.
    The NewTabURL add-on can be used to open a page of your choice in new tabs - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl

  • White screens shows (left) when I open new tab with black background?

    It`s seems like i would printscreen some page which is not dark and pastes it to a new Safari window (black/dark background) with low opacity (like 5%). I looks like to only the Safari problem.
    Thank you.

    Use cmnd+w to close the tab.

  • Today when I opened a new tab instead of a blank page (I set this up), it opened with a search engine. I think it was bing. How do I keep this from happening?

    I want the settings I've set to remain. Lately, the search engine also changes from google to other ones. The other day it was Amazon. It's very frustrating when this happens. I'd like to know how to "freeze" the current settings so they can't be changed unless I want them to. It's very scary to think that somehow my settings change without my knowledge.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • I can set my default home page (when Firefox starts) but if I open subsequent tabs I get a blank page. How do I set my default home page for all tabs.

    I set my default home page to AltaVista.com. This page comes up as expected when I start Firefox. However if I open a new tab I get a blank page. How to I setup Firefox to use my default web page for all subsequent tabs. This was an easy process in IE

  • I've just rented Monsters vs Aliens on my Apple TV 3 and once we switched to default language - Russian we have experienced major lag in sound, apx. 1 sec delay with the picture. English soundtrack works fine, once we put Russian back - the delay is back.

  • Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc?

    Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc? Checked for malware, cleared cache, re-installed Firefox, disabled add ons, enabled java, updated flash and shockwave, etc.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • My imac starts with a white screen, then goes black and a small white line just blinks in the top left corner of the screen?

    My imac starts with a white screen, then goes to black with a small white line blinking in the top left corner of the screen. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Try starting your iMac with the original DVD that came with the machine then launch disk utility to repair your hard drive. 

  • At start up I get a white screen then eventually a blinking folder icon with a question mark in the middle

    Help!  As of today, my iMac will not boot up.  When I turn it on I get a blank white screen then, after about a minute, a blinking folder icon with a question mark in the middle.

    Find your original install disk, insert it and re-boot holding the "C" key during startup. It will take longer but should boot. Then you need to select Disk Utilityfrom the Menu Bar. Do a Repair Disk on your hard drive. When it finishes re-boot normally.
