(I am accessing this site using Safari)

I just installed Firefox1.0.3 on a Mac G4 Powerbook running  10.3.9
10.3.9 was installed yesterday. Firefox 1.0.3 today.

I have been successfully using Firefox (1 -1.0.2) up until now.
However, now Firefox loads to an empty page albeit one that has the right name for the site on top. The 
URL window is empty. I can't access the search panel either. I removed the localstore.rdf as suggested 
in another help section and restarted Firefox. Same problem. If i use the print page command, the page 
prints as normal. It's just invisible on the screen. I restarted the computer altogether and Firefox then 
opened okay but once quit the problem returns. No other browser is affected, just Firefox

Thanks in advance for any help.

Reproducible: Always

Did you try to disable all installed Firefox extensions ?
(or using the Firefox safemode, don't know if that exists on OS X)

This sounds exactly like what is happening to me after installing Firefox 
1.0.3 on a Windows Xp + SP2 with all patches. The menus are all disabled, 
apart from the check for updates button. So if there is another way to disable 
extensions I would be grateful to know?
I also tried uninstalling firefox and reinstalling, but my old extensions are 
still retained somehow as they are still searched for during the new updates 
search.

Safe mode in Windows XP fixed it for me :-) when I reread Comment #1

Confirmed on my Windows system as well (1.03, XPProSP2)

This has happened to me under Slackware Linux 10.1 and under Windows XP SP2.

no response form reporter -> invalid

This is usually caused by installed and broken extensions (use the safemode to
uninstall this broken extensions. Safemode is just Firefox without extensions).
