Hello, 

I am experiencing an issue with the new version of Firefox where Bing images flashes and never loads. I tried refreshing through about:support and running with no addons and this did not fix the issue. This issue is new to Quantum for me and did not happen in the previous version of Firefox.

Thank you.

Lets just go basic with this first please.

I do not see any issues in your Video Card Drivers for your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 though the drivers are 8mos old driverDate: 3-31-2017 and there should be updates to be had https://www.geforce.com/drivers Please keep them updated regularly as old & or corrupt drivers cause a wide range of problems and issues.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Ghostery, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.

  • make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and remove the cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Clear the cache:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove the cookies" from websites that cause problems.

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
