When I log into Firefox, the home page blank/white. I have access to my bookmarks and the search tab but when try to access a favorite web site from the bookmarks drop down or type in a web address in the search bar, nothing happens. What can I do to fix this?

I think you mean 'when Firefox is started.'

Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
  • Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
