Link Delivers a Blank Screen/Page

Post by alnuwer »

When I enter the link to my stock portfolio, I get a completely blank page. I have been using this link for years without any issues until the last few days. I just tested it using MS Edge and Chrome; they both work just fine. Any idea what's happening?

Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?

Thanks for your fast reply Dan. Just tried your suggestion:
- Safe Mode returns same blank screen
- New (Clean) Profile opens the link as it should
Checked my Add=ons, and no new (since the issue) Extensions or Plug-ins. What now?

It could be something else in the profile other than the extensions that caused the issue. Try downloading and installing the same extensions, one at a time, testing between installs.

So I installed all of the extensions 1 by 1 into the new (clean) profile, and the link still opens as it should. Guess it's not the extensions that are the culprit. Any other thoughts?

You're good to go at this point, unless you want to migrate bookmarks, passwords, and so on from the old profile to the new. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_ ... _-_Firefox

OK. Finally finished customizing my new profile with my bookmarks, passwords, extensions, etc., and everything seems to be working fine.
Problem Solved.
Thanks for your help Dan!
