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.

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).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*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")

Firefox loads a page twice

Since first version of firefox 3 and still now, firefox loads somes pages twice. It is so anoying that I have to use internet explorer to browse some websites (specially on my intranet for maintenance operations).
I have notice that the bug occurs on pages that make a few seconds to load (like when updating database).
Is there anyway to desactivate or fix this bug/feature?
Thanks

To stop F/fox 3.6.12 loading pages twice, disable Adblock+ and Adblock + uploader in Add-ons. Worked for me.

Printer works on every program except trying to print anything from Firefox. Blank pages everytime.

Using Windows XPproffesional & current Firefox 4.0.1. Printer works on every program except anything from Firefox,.blank page every time. When I hit File>Print; the "Print Frames" section in lower left hand box has no options checked and is unaccessible. Printing works fine in Explorer.

edmeister; thanks for trying to help. I reset the printer per the instructions you provided and also checked that I wasn't printing to file. Even unistalled Firefox, and installed 3.6; same thing happened. So, I uninstalled 3.6 and reinstalled 4.0; still having same problem. But, can still print in IExplorer?

VirtualHosts loading blank pages in Mavericks

I'm having issues loading VirtualHosts I've setup on my iMac, all that they appear to be returning are blank pages. I've tried multiple browsers, flushed my DNS cache, cleared browser cache etc but nothing appears to be fixing this.
Here is what my /etc/apache2/httpd-vhosts/conf file looks like:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<Directory "/Users/chris/Sites/test/">
Allow From All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName "test.dev"
    ServerAlias "test.dev.*.*.*.*.xip.io"
    DocumentRoot "/Users/chris/Sites/test"
</VirtualHost>
Here is what my /etc/hosts file looks like:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1   localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
# VHX START
127.0.0.1 test.dev
fe80::1%lo0 test.dev
# VHX STOP
In my /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file I've made sure to uncomment the following line:
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
I'm using VirtualHostX to manage all of this but I've even resorted to deleting everything in these files and starting again following guides online – that didn't work either.
I've tried to tail the apache access log and whenever I try to access http://test.dev nothing shows up in that file or the apache error log – it's as though my machine has absolutely no idea that URL exists even though I believe everything is setup correctly.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks, Chris

Hi,
have you tried redeploying the CmcApp Do the following:
1. Stop the tomcat
2. Go to the webapps subdirectory found under the directory where the tomcat server is installed. (In Windows this should be <BOBJ installation directory>\Tomcat55\webapps ).
3. Rename the CmcApp and CmcAppActions subfolders to CmcApp_OLD and CmcAppActions_OLD
4. Restart the TOmcat and ait until the CmcApp and CmcAppActions folders are recreated in the webapps folder.
Try again to use the CmC.

STratos

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

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)

Website problems in Safari - half loaded / blank pages

I'm having problems with my website - http://kevadamson.com - in Safari (4) on both Mac (10.5.8) and PC (Vista) (Version 4). I have asked my fellow web developer and programmer colleagues what they think, without finding a reason for the problems.
*Problems as follows:*
= Pages often load with missing images (both and CSS background images)
= Pages often do not load at all - displaying just a blank page
= Pages often load with failed JavaScript elements
*I have checked the following:*
= Other browsers and it works fine (IE6/7/8, FF3.5, Chrome, Opera 10)
= Disabling CSS and JavaScript, and I still get the same issues
= Re-installing Safari
= Asked others to check on their machines (Mac and PC) and they see the same problems
= Choosing different options from user agents list - still get same problems
*Other info:*
= The server is Apache 2
= XHTML transitional and CSS3
Anyone have any thoughts?

Don't mess around with reinstalling Safari; that's not the problem at all. Instead, try this:
1. Quit Safari if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari, reset its preferences and see if the problem continues.

Firefox presents blank pages when I try to access my bank on the internet. I must click on "allow" several times to get through.

The bank page appears blank with the text "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I must then click on "allow" to work through a series of blank pages before reaching the bank page itself.
This has not occurred with any other URL so far.

Thanks for the feedback. As the link was a answer provided by a support person, it was specific to the platform of the user (asking the question). I should have picked up on that.
Rest assured that the support articles on the Firefox Help website provide the answers specific to the platform and version of Firefox it detects the user is running.
Thanks again.

Since updating to V5 firefox prints blank pages. other programs print properly.

Since updating to FF v5 I get blank pages when printing. Other browsers and programs print properly. I get this when using a physical printer or printing to PDF. The print preview looks OK.

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

Safari loads blank pages

Hello
A problem has recently started on my MacBook with Safari, I can browse the web fine and get on all the websites I want to. However sometimes when I click on a link safari looks like it is loading the page as normal and takes the normal amount of time but fails to display anything, I just end up with a white page! This consistently occurs with the same pages, I then just have to refresh the page and it loads fine every time!
If I Ctrl-click on the page and select 'view source' the source of the page is displayed!
All the pages that fail to display have worked fine in the past, I'm not really sure when or why the problem started.
I have repaired permissions and deleted the Safari preferences file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bryan

ewww, why on earth would you want to look at that? . . .
Seriously, though. The page does download properly for me (and quite quickly too). That suggests a problem with your settings. If you have another account, try to download the page with that. (It is sometimes a good idea to have an alternative account so that one can test for any differences.)
One might also try with another browser.
With Safari, however, I would check two things, both in the Safari menu (top left of your screen):
(A) Block popup windows (if on, turn off; of off, turn on -- perverse I know. Mine is showing blocked)
(B) Empty cache.
And with both of those, restart Safari. You might also consider (down the line a bit) a restart of the computer and a restart of your router.
You do not say how you connect to the internet, but many people do now use broadband/adsl/networks. Restarting the router would give a new external IP number and thus the site would recognise it as a new connection (this works when sometimes the iTunes shop lags).

Safari and Firefox loading wrong pages since 10.6.5 update

I have an issue on two completely separate Macs since upgrading them to 10.6.5. After a few hours use, links within some web pages, in Safari or Firefox, will resolve to very random places. For example I click a news article link on the Yahoo home page, and it takes me repeatedly to a monster.com job listing page. Or if I am in Yahoo mail and I click Calendar, it takes me right back to yahoo mail and does not open the calendar page. Sometimes I can click a link in the bookmarks bar like the one for www.yahoo.com and it gives me a page not found error. Totally repeatable once this behaviour starts - if the wrong page load problem starts on any given link, it repeatedly goes to that wrong page every time that link is clicked. Tried using Firefox as well as Safari - same exact bugs occur there once this behavior starts. So its not just Safari!
If I run Cocktail and run the weekly script, the problem usually gets instantly fixed, for a little while, then it eventually comes back.
It appears that some cache, perhaps the whatis or lookup databases (since those get rebuilt in the weekly script), are getting corrupted in 10.6.5, such that browser links get resolved to the incorrect addresses.
Happens on my MacPro Quadcore i7 as well as a friends MacBook Pro 17, 2009 unibody. Both started showing this problem on both firefox AND safari after the 10.6.5 update. Have tried resetting Safari, rebooting, and using them on a different wireless network, to no avail.
Help!!!!

Hi Jim
test in a New User Account
& if that's no different - try out different dns
say Open dns
or more reliably for me lately ( & less annoying when a site doesn't exist, or is mistyped )
Google public dns

The optimised imagery content loads OK but the actual Thumbnails feature stalls when loading the page.

Hi folks I have a problem here with Muse. I have a Macbook Pro running on X.10.9.4
When I try to load my Thumbnails widget in a browser the feature stalls.
The full size imagery is optimized OK and will load fast directly on the page without any problem without the Thumbnail widget enabled. If I go to Preview with the widget enabled as a slideshow the whole thing slowly grinds to a halt, usually before all of the thumbnails load. When and if they do eventually load the preview window does not. I must be doing something wrong? That page will obviously not upload. @

What is the "thumbnail widget"?
