Firefox loads blank page off google search only on some stes

google search results are found ok, some links load to website other selected links load a blank screen, obout 25% of sites fail to load, internet explorer browser WILL load sites that fail on Firefox.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*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 it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

On a website clicking on highlighted text in blue, the browser should take you to info on that subject. My Firefox opens a blank page and says "search history and bookmarks." How can I make it go to the info highlighted in blue text? Ver 3.6.15

Usually the browser will take the user to info pages when a click on blue text is done. My browser just opens a blank page and has "search history and bookmarks and then just sits there. I can change that so it will do nothing and the message is "type a web address". It used to work fine. How can I fix this.

I keep getting the Firefox start page with Google search. How do I get my homepage back?

When I click the Mozilla Firefox icon, instead of my homepage I get a starter page with Google search. How can I get rid of the starter page and get my homepage back?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started about a week and a half ago.

Hello Linda.
I fear your problem may be deeper than your homepage gone missing, but you can change your homepage easily by going into Tools > Options > General and entering the address you want in the "Home Page" field.
I should warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment is outdated and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It's completely free, as always. You can get it through Firefox update service (Help > Check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com

Firefox loading wrong page when searching from default home page

Hi,
When I try a search from the default home page (about:home) in Firefox, instead of bringing up google search results I get sent to the following page
http://search.tuxendo.com
Has anyone come across this before?

This reply by cor-el was a partial solution to the problem. But there was a further problem. Ask.com had a .exe program installed in my computer along with a program I had installed (Webroot anti-virus and Spy Sweeper), and this .exe program would keep restoring ask.com as the default search engine after I removed it. I had to use the "remove program" function of the Control Panel to remove the .exe program (called Webroot Ask.exe or something close to that) to finish the job.
So to dispose of the problem, follow the advice above from cor-el, and then go to the Control Panel, track down some form of ask.exe, and remove it.

Why does firefox 4 freeze on the 1st result page of google search engine

I updated to Firefox 4 yesterday and now every time I use the google search engine my screen freezes on the first results page and will not allow me to click on any of the links on it, saying that it is not responding before eventually the screen goes white.
I tried to find a solution on the Firefox Support page but the only solution relates to McAfee Site Advisor. As I do not have this installed and never have I was wondering if it would be possible for you to tell me how do I fix it?
Thank you.

Hi, i had the same problem, and I also use Bullguard, I contacted them, just received answer, (in about 20 min). It is incompatibility of FF4 and bullguard (they know about it, and fix will be released soon), and probably most of the other antiviruses, as I see this is very popular problem. The solution though is very simple : in firefox disable addon "Bullguard Safe Browsing". It works. Or alternatively open bullguard go : antivirus - settings - safe browsing (unchek that). For those not using bullguard i would recommend to check their addons in FF and if there is any from your antivirus try to disable it for now.

How can I make Mozilla Firefox Start Page use Google search instead of SearchCompletion search?

I have just upgraded Firefox 9 to 10. I noticed when I fire up Firefox at the Start Page and enter a query at the search bar, the resulting pages are from SearchCompletion engine.
How do I make Google search engine as the default engine at the Firefox Start Page ... like it has always been?
Seems like one of those irritating changes that happens when upgrading versions...

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Dreamweaver pages won't preview in Firefox since last update (3.6.13); Firefox opens blank page only. I am running OS 10.4.11 on iMac G5.

Previously both Firefox and Safari would display web pages created in Dreamweaver (MX). Dreamweaver is set up to preview by default in Safari (F12) and, using (F12) and the Command modifier key, in Firefox. Now the preview works only in Safari. Trying to preview in Firefox results in Firefox opening, if it wasn't already running, but only a blank page displays.

That didn't work. The problem is now on both accounts
That's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repariing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Firefox now opens with Crawler as the browser how do I return to normal firefox home page withthe google search box?

When I opened firefox the search page just showed Mozilla firefox and had a search inptu boxwih google underneath to show the search engine being used. Suddenly I opened firefox and the page is showing lots of text and is Crawler.com. I have tried to change it back to firefox as it was before but without success. I even uninstalled and reinstalled forefox but it still opensCrawler.com and not mozilla firefox.
Can anyone explain why this has happened and where Crawler.cm came from as I have not downloaded any software with the name crawler, and how can return to the set up that I am familiar wih and prefer.

Try resetting your homepage.

Special feature of Firefox... loading blank pages

Yes, it's an old chestnut this one: various pages loading completely blank. I have no security issues – ran combofix just in case – everything is working OK... except Firefox and its blank pages.
I followed advice given in the following post and there were no suspicious addons:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940483
I load these blank pages in IE without any problems - If it’s simply a question of updating Firefox I shall do so, but this shouldn’t be happening in the first place.

Surprise, surprise... after updating, some pages still load blank.

Having trouble loading ASPX pages from one website, only in firefox, only on one computer.

I am having an issue where firefox will not load an aspx page, from one computer. It seems to work fine on everything else. I have disabled the virus scanner, firewall and web filter. It works fine on other browsers, on the same computer.
I've tried clearing the cookies, cache and offline storage. I also uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and tried loading the page in firefox safe mode.
Any ideas?

Safari 4.0.1 Loads Blank Page

Since updating to Safari 4.0.1, I have been having issues with loading my Earthlink home page. Safari will load roughly 75 percent of the page and then I get a completely blank page. A message in the Status Bar indicates Canceled opening the page." When I click the reload icon the page loads properly. Any suggestions?

I'm seeing the same problem. All users are affected, and I tried an archive and install, not preserving users or network settings - same issue. It seems to load pages, but they they appear to be white. The text is actually there, since I can do a find for text that I know to be there.
Could you try finding within a page? I'm curious to know if my problem is the same as yours?
This problem only began after installing Safari 4.0.1, and it seems to affect some other WebKit applications, such as Mail and the CarbonWebApp example included with the developer tools. Downgrading Safari to a 3.x version fixes the issue.
It's definitely not a Safari issue, but it does appear to be related to WebKit.
My system is about as clean as they come, and there are no third-party plug-ins.
The following pages no-longer load for me:
www.google.ie (first page is fine, but test results are invisible)
news.bbc.co.uk (Grey with no visible text)

When within a wedsite, when prompted to access info a blank page that saya"Search Bookmarks and History" pops up denying me access, how do I fix this?

Example: when in my on line banking site I want to access older statements I press the prompt and a full blank page stating "search Bookmarks and History" pop up and I cannot access what I requested.
This happens on many sites, I do believe it may be something I accidentally changed.
How do I reset the program to correct this problem?
And if I just have to reload the program itself how do I insure my bookmarks will not be deleted?

If links are JavaScript type of links (onclick or href="javascript:")then you have to left-click such a link.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
