When I load Firefox I get a blank white screen.

I have no way of exiting except by closing Firefox using task manager.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When I start Firefox, I get a blank white screen.

    Only rebooting helps. I will reboot, it will be okay for a while, then the problem will come back. I have the same problem with SeaMonkey.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.

  • When I open safari I get a blank white screen.

    When I open safari I get a blank white screen. When I open top sites, and choose google, the screen is still blank, with the search bar at the top a quarter full. If it does open, it suddenly becomes unresponsive and returns to that blank, white screen. I'v tried everything I can think of, but nothing works.
    On a side note, everything from mail to iphoto to word works - just not safari. I'm using a mid-11 iMac 21.5"i5 running on mountain lion.
    Also did I post this in the right place? I'm new to this.

    Read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select
     ▹ Force Quit…
    from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
    Step 1
    In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
    If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
    Caches/Metadata/Safari
    Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
    Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have problems, continue.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Quit Safari again. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. If there's a subfolder with the name "com.apple.Safari", delete it, even if it's empty. Quit Terminal. Close the folder. Launch Safari and test.
    Step 3
    If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
    Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
    Internet Plug-Ins
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
    PubSub/Database
    Safari
    (Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
    Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
    If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select
    File ▹ Import Bookmarks
    from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
    Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
    If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

  • My itunes store will not load i keep getting a blank white screen

    My itunes store will not load when i click on the store a blank white screen will come up and only that

    I have a MacBook Pro and it could be a really simple solution. I had the same problem after updating my iTunes. I finally got through to a guy at Apple who took the time to help me. I use Firefox everyday, but apparently the iTunes Store runs off of Safari. All I had to do was download the most recent version of Safari. Literally, that was it. So easy.

  • Issue when signing into adobe I get a blank white screen

    what seems happening is when they log into their adobe account, it will go to a blank white screen and seem to cycle till it eventually times out and gets a connection error.  However, if they type in "adobe.com"  it will show them as having logged in.
    This is happening on ie, and firefox and is not profile specific meaning I can log into the computer under my credentials and experience the same thing.
    I've tried the usual suggestions such as renaming the OOBE folder, deleting temp files, etc.
    I'm thinking it's some kind of issue with adobe flash player.  Any guidance with this would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • HT4913 when i try to look at music at the itunes store i just get a blank white screen

    i log in then press itunes store it processes then i just get a blank white screen. no music to look at or download

    If you're seeing a blank iTunes Store, see this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
    If that does't help, try resetting Winsock. This has solved the problem for some people, at least.
    1) Click on your start menu.
    2) Go to accessories
    3) Run the Command Prompt application. For those with Vista or Windows 7, right click on Comman Prompt and choose "run as administrator". 
    4) Once it opens, type in the following command... 
    netsh winsock reset
    5) hit Enter and it should say something like Winsock reset successful.
    6) Reboot your computer and try the iTunes Store again.
    Regards.

  • I get a blank white screen on iTunes Games page

    I can load every other page in the iTunes store to my knowledge, but for some reason when I go to the Games section of the App Store I get a blank white screen. This has been occuring for months. I have the latest version of iTunes and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program. I am running on a Macbook OS X Mountain Lion Version 10.8.4

    Same boat here.  Has been an issue where I have not been able to select any categories beyond the App home page.  Everything comes up blank.  It started a few months ago with just the Games page coming up blank.  Now it has spread to all categories within the App Store.  All my purchases have mostly been either off the main page or on the iPod istelf.  Is starting to get frustrating.
    Have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes a number of times.  Defragged and cleaned up the hard drive.
    I am running:
    -iTunes (11.1).
    -Windows XP (SP 3)
    Connected devices:
    -iPod Touch 5th gen (iOS 6.1.3)
    -iPad 2 (iOS 6.1.3)
    -iPod Touch 2nd gen (4.2.1)
    -iPod Touch 2nd gen (4.2.1)
    Any and all advice is welcome.
    Thank you.

    What happened yesterday may have been caused by the SOPA protest action that was joined by a lot of sites yesterday and such an action won't happen that often.

  • HT201412 when turned on all I get is a white screen

    My Ipod when turned on all I get is a white screen.  I tryed to do a reboot w/power and home button and nothing

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Can you still boot to the Recovery partition using Command and R whilst booting? Or did you wipe the Recovery partition as well?
    If your Recovery partition is still intact, you can simply boot to it and reinstall the OS via the Internet. If you wiped the Recovery partition, you can hold down Command, option and R keys whilst booting and boot into true Internet Recovery mode. You'll be able to reformat the hard drive, erasing all partitions (format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a dingle GUID partition) and then reinstall the OS that shipped with your machine.
    Note that you should use a physical Ethernet connection when restoring over the Internet - it's three times slower if you use wifi.
    Try your Recovery partition first and if that doesn't work, use Internet Recovery.
