Firefox not working after update - can't find a solution

Hi.

I seem to have encountered the common problem - Firefox will no longer work after an update. It just loads a blank white page, and won't load any webpages at all. Though, I have tried a few different fixes and still can't get it to work. I have tried:

Restarting computer, Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, Removing Firefox from the list of trusted programmes in Comodo Internet Security; then adding it back again, Adding Firefox to the list of trusted programmes in Windows Firewall, and configuring Firefox to not connect to the internet through a proxy.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks.

Do you have the leethax.net extension installed? If so, remove it. If you don't, Reset Firefox. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

Hi Tyler.

Yes I had the Leethax add-on installed. I removed it and restarted Firefox - and it fixed the problem!!

I knew it'd be something simple I'd overlooked; so thanks very much for your response! :)
