A blank white rectangle appears infront of loading pages, forced to click it closed. How to remove these blanks from happening?

I click a link and while page is loading, a single wide blank rectangle with an x in the upper right corner pops up. I am forced to close it by clicking the X. I cannot click on the desired 'loaded page' that sits behind the blank box at all. This happens throughout the day, everyday for the last 3 months. So annoying. I am not computer savvy. I took a pic for you to see, but I cannot figure out how to send it to you.

hello megs1, you can attach a picture when you reply to your original post.

could you also go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...

thank you

You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
