Firefox Opens Just A Black Window after Version 33 Update

Date October 16, 2014 Author By kadmin Category General

Problem:

Solution:

With Firefox fully closed, you can hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click “Start in Safe Mode” (not Reset).

If Firefox is visible, go ahead and disable Firefox’s use of hardware acceleration as a workaround for a possible graphics card driver software incompatibility.

“3-bar” menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced

On the “General” mini-tab, uncheck the box for “Use hardware acceleration when available”

That will be in effect the next time you exit and start Firefox back up.
