Updated to Ver43 and since then FB won't load any page except my Home news feed page. Additionally Firefox crashes many times per day and sometimes blocks of black appear on sites and usually precede a crash. All was OK running Ver33. I'm using Windows 7.

It seems that the problem was an add-on called TimeLineRemove.com which wasn't flagged as suspect by Mozilla so I hadn't tried disabling it. So far so good today ...

Thanks for the reply though FredMcD as I think your approach would work with most issues - mine just happened to be a different one.

Glad the problem is fixed. I will mark your own post as the solution.

I also note from your first post on the 15th you were only on Firefox 43. By now you should be on Firefox 45.0.0 with a Firefox fix anyday soon changing that to Fx45.0.1
