White box loads over web pages

Upon loading up any website i am also greeted with a white box that covers almost all of the screen with a X in the top right, as if it was an advertisement but it's just white. it happens on every page e.g. Amazon, Youtube, Facebook. At first i thought it was a virus but Avast detects no threats, I have also tried restoring my Laptop to an earlier date, and it still occurs. I have a picture but I don't know if i can post it on here so there's a link:

any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • Problems loading certain web pages

    Lately, in the past week or two, I have been noticing that Safari wont load certain web pages. It jsut stops and then I get a blank white page with no error message. I have noticed this mostly with Facebook, but also found the same problems with Evite.com when I click the login link. I have tried using Firefox and it seems to d better, especially with Facebook, but it did hang up on it one time. I cant get to the login page on Evite with either browser. I am using OpenDNS, but dont have these things blocked. I can access them fine from a PC laptop through the same connection via my wireless modem.

    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utiities). Select Passwords on the left then delete the Evite under Names on the right. Launch Safari or Firefox, go to the Evite site and login. After typing in your password, click Always Allow
    I opened Keychain, but there is nothing in there for Evite under passwords?
    Try Safari Maintenance
    Repair disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Tried this, but still having problems in both Safari and Firefox. Facebook seems to be random, more often not working than it is. Still no login page with Evite?

  • My MacBook Pro won't load any web page I have restarted and safe booted still nothing

    My MacBook Pro will not load any web pages. Safari opens but when I click on top sites or type in a website it will start but not get past half of the address before stopping and going no further. I have restarted and restarted in safe boot and still no change. I'm am connected to the internet wirelessly and my iPad mini is connecting to the internet wirelessly fine, so I think the internet is fine. What can I try next?
    Thanks

    Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes beside  all items.
    Just check the box beside “Remove all website data”.
    Click "Reset".
    Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    Turn off Extensions if any, and launch Safari.

  • 2-3 minutes to load a web page

    I got a macpro with retina display several months ago and it has disasterous web surfing capability. I timed myself and it took me 6 minutes to get through the apple website to post this! I just timed an attempt to resolve www.cnn.com and it took 160 seconds.  This brings back mind-numing memories of AOL and 28,800 baud rates.
    I cannot imagine --anyone-- would put up with this kind of performance but I cannot get this fixed.  On my home Windows PC I can get to this page in under ten seconds. On my corporate work network with a PC;  I can get to it even faster.
    The Macpro performance is terrible on my  corporate network and at home. The performance is terrible with both wired and wireless.  I have reset Safari. I have cleared the cache. I have diabled the cache. I have never added a single extension.  I have ensured there are no bad/duplicate DNS servers. After all of this I  loaded Chrome and it's performance is even worse than Safari!
    I called my company helpdesk and said the performance was terrible and after several hours they just  gave up trying to fix it. I told them it must be a hardare failure and they need to replace the mac pro.  They said this is a common complaint with Macs!  I am ready to junk this thing and go back to a corporate Lenovo piece of junk running windows 7. At least it can resolve web pages in milliseconds instead of literally multiple minutes.
    COnsidering how many dozens of hours I have spent on this maddening issue (surfing the web on my WIndows PC and trying to fix this mac):
    Please don't tell me to fiddle with safari because chrome is worse
    Please don't tell me to fiddle with wireless, because it is no better wired with wireless disabled
    Please don't tell me to fiddle with routers because it is just as bad on corporate and home networks.
    Please don't tell me to update to the latest OS version because I am running 10.8.3
    So last call for anyone who has any suggestions on how to fix this...
    -Robert

    Thomas A Reed:
    After two months of trying, your suggestion to boot into safe mode is a breakthrough! 
    While in Safe Mode I can actually load this web page in 5-6 seconds. I spent the last few minutes bouncing all over the web watching web pages draw within seconds.
      This proves that the hardware is ok and there is some application which is killing my ability to load a web page. It effects Safari, Chrome and I even loaded Firefox and all of them are similarly crippled. Therefore, it is not something misconfigured in any browser, or some cache issue. Since I can download files at regular speed, it is unlikely a network driver issue.
    I do not have anti-virus software running on the machine. I don't know of any network filtering applications so I am not sure what those might be, but at least I have something to debug now.
    My thanks to you for your insight here! i sincerely appreciate your help.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 - Won't load certain web pages - Happens in all browers - Won't do windows updates

    This server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with SP1) is used to host thin clients as well as RDP sessions.  One morning the office is fine, they come back from lunch and all of the sudden they can't load certain web pages, such as adobe.com
    and pandora.com to name a couple.  This was roughly 3 days ago. 
    1.)  I have tried machines that are not connected to this server (not thin client or RDP), but are on the same network, they can load up any web page fine with no issues.
    2.) On the server I have tried Opera, Chrome, IE and Firefox, all have the same exact problem.
    3.) Tried different DNS servers just to be sure, even though it only effects the server and no one else.
    Based on these facts I know that it is something wrong with the server, but not tied to a specific brower.  In all browsers when you load up a page in question it just sits there with a blank screen trying to load, it never generates any errors. 
    The Event Viewer is also clean, no errors.  So with no errors I have had trouble trying to find a starting place for this.  Things I have tried:
    1.) ipconfig /flushdns to try and clear out any DNS issues
    2.) Changing the DNS servers for the server to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2
    3.) Scanning for Viruses and Malware/Spyware
    4.) Checking proxy settings on the server
    5.) Updating and then removing Adobe Flash (thought it was tied to flash at first).  Problem persists even with no flash player installed.
    6.) Completed a failed update of .net, no effect
    7.) Loading up browsers in debug mode to try and find anything in the site code that I could relate between failed sites.  I found nothing I could identify
    Of all issues to finally be stumped on this seems like an easy one, but I can't even begin to come up with an idea at this point. 
    I have tried to lay out all of the facts that I know as plainly as I can.  I am hoping that someone has seen this before as this issue is effecting a number of differnt users and keeping them from doing portions of their job.
    Help is most appreciated, thank you!

    I was able to figure out a solution.
    CAUSE:
    It appears that the Internet isn’t fully up to date and ready to use EDns -- which is enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2 by default. The solution for this is to disable Edns. Note that this isn’t
    a problem for most Windows Server 2008 R2 member servers.  It’s only a problem for DNS *servers* that do recursive lookups.  i.e. likely only your domain controller will be affected if that is where your DNS Server role exists.
    SOLUTION:
    To disable EDns, you can do it from the command prompt, or by editing the registry.
    Create a DWORD called EnableEDNSProbes and set to 0 in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DNS\Parameters
    Restart the DNS Server service for it to take effect.

  • Firefox will not load any web pages

    Firefox will not load any web pages. I have tried every suggestion on the support page, deleted the program and reinstalled it 4 times, and ran a malware scan. None of these have solved the problem.

    Hi JessN37,
    We've got a whole [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/web-pages-dont-load troubleshooting section on failure to load pages]. Have you looked through any of that information? There is a ton of useful stuff there.

    You can't open a webpage in your Crystal Report, because all webpages will be executed in browser only. If you insert any webpage link in any documents it will not open in the same document, it will open in browser.
    Hope this will help you

    Why is safari loading certain web pages so slowly?

    Emptied the Safari cache lately?
    Press Command + Option + E then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, try this DNS.
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Let us know after that what happens.
