Searching on google - the results display but the window is blue/grey and does not respond. There is no problem searching Bing. Is this blocked by google as there are no issues on Chrome? Using updated Windows 10 and Firefox 43.0.

Hello,

The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

Note: When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article for more information.

To Refresh Firefox:

  1. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    • If you're unable to access the Help menu, type about:support in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
  2. At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
  3. Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
  4. Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

Thanks - this is noted and much appreciated information about the troubleshooting option.

I got there the long way round installing a fresh clean older firefox and starting afresh.

The problem may have been due to my disabling flash and clicking on the pesky Google privacy review button. Clicking on it again stops the issue arising. Thanks again!
