All of a sudden starting a few days ago, google books' pages are all blank (no matter what book I choose to preview) and now tonight instagram is coming up as a blank page. I don't know if the latest update did this. I'm assuming it did because I've never had this problem before in the many years I've used firefox.

I've dumped the cache for firefox several times. Restarted several times. No effect.

Both websites work fine on safari.

I'm on a imac 10.6.8 and firefox is now 46.01.

Could use some help and thank you in advance for any helpful suggestion...

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?


Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Thanks Fred!

Restarting firefox with add-ons disabled/safe mode and then choosing "refresh" fixed the problem.

Best wishes, Kev
