I get blank pages when browsing to several sites, i.e. www.thegolfchannel.com,
www.blackviper.com, & many others. The windows indicates "done" in the lower
left, but page is blank.

Reproducible: Always

Do you use a proxy, firewall or ad-filter on your system or installed Firefox
extensions ?

I have had a similar issue today. I found that even in Safe Mode, certain pages
would load their icon but simply not appear. Using a different profile, however,
showed me that the problem was created during my Firefox use. I disabled the
disk cache in about:config and was able to restore access to those sites. (phew)
My belief is that a problem occurred when Firefox was saving the site to disk
(perhaps due to low disk space) resulting in a corrupted copy in cache--*even*
when the cache was cleared (bug?). Try setting browser.cache.disk.enable to
"false" in about:config and accessing those sites again.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
