Firefox is not loading text, instead I see blank boxes. I'm using a Mac OS 10.6.5

After using Firefox for a while, when I open a new tab text does not appear, instead for each letter there is a blank box.

There can be various causes for this:
[[Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit]]

Firefox is not loading websites

I attempted to Google search some images, but the page stopped loading even though the tab said it was still loaded. I tried to do a web search instead, but Firefox wouldn't load Google at all. I then decided to restart my computer and run a disk cleanup and cleared my history, but even that didn't stop Firefox from not loading Google. Frustrated, I tried going to other websites, such as Facebook and InsaneJournal, but neither of these would load either. I'm absolutely certain that these websites are all running fine, but my concern is that Firefox's latest update -- not the beta -- is causing my problems.

Firefox is not loading websites properly on our mac.

Firefox is not loading banners/background images/various interactive buttons etc on '''all''' web sites: I'm using Firefox/3.6.12 on Mac OS 10.4.11
Other browsers are fine: ie Safari and Opera.
Firefox is working fine on our PC.
I have taken screen shots of Google home page and Firefox home page in Ff and Safari to illustrate this point and can email these to you so you can see what's happening. Ff was working fine yesterday.
Entering extra information as requested I've noticed that the Default Plugin is showing as disabled in the Technical info under the Trouble shooting menu but is showing as enabled in the plugins list in the Ff drop down.

Firefox will not load no matter what I try (safe mode whatever). It only loads if I run it inside Comodo sandbox! How do I get it to run the normal way?

Firefox will not load the normal way (clicking on a link or running it from Run window or even running it in safe mode). It only runs if I dig down to the installed directory, right-click firefox.exe and select "Run inside Comodo Sandbox". I have Comodo Internet Security Suite installed but this does not happen with other programs. Do send in your suggestions. Re-install did not help.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox is not loading.

Is firefox having problems. My firefox is not loading at all starting on Saturday, 12/4/10. It just times out and will not load.

Are you using a fresh, separate, profile for the Firefox 4 beta version or do you share the profile with the Firefox 3.6.x version?
If you share the profile then create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Firefox does not load images on any website. This has been a problem for years

It's not clear why. but only Firefox does not load images on web pages. Works fine on IE
Follow all the troubleshooting steps at
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_don%27t_load
no of it works. Never has. I see this problem all over. It's the main reason that users don't switch to Firefox.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

FireFox will not load facebook Or my games homepage and many other sites. It wont even let me clear the history like one artical said, But internetexplorerwill.

Firefox will not load Facebook.com, OR any of my gaming homepages. An artical Told em to clear history but it frezzes right in the middle. When i click on facebook itll Go to it And stop At "transfering data from (many diff things each time) And it frezzes, I ahve to open up task manager to get rid of it. Please help! it does this with many other sites also. This also started happening right after i came back with my computer from my grandmas.

You could try the new Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back to your current folder, if you like, using Firefox's Profile Manager. (See [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] -- don't delete anything just yet; use this dialog to switch back and forth as needed.)
Does it work better after a reset?

Which files do you have in the defaults\pref folder in the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
See also "Other solutions":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
