291141 - The start page and any other page i load is blank

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[matt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319
Build Identifier: the new firefox

I cannot select any options from the toolbar, except when i left click I can
bring up the menu that says customize on it.   If i left click in the bookmark
toolbar i can bring up the menu with manage bookmarks on it.   If i try to pick
a bookmark to load, then the page stays white.   I am running windowsXP with
service pack 2.
    Also, a little box that says failure to authenticate appears in the top left
hand corner.   I think it is an old bookmark server trying to reach an account
which I no longer have.   This is most likely a bug with that program.    

 Thanks, sorry if this is a bad report, I am running out the door to work!.

I had this exact problem, firefox would work in safe mode however.  I
uninstalled all of my extensions and it started working fine again, even after I
reinstalled the extensions.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

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

Short cut icons nor the listing on the Start menu will bring up Firefox, This
began after I loaded the most recent build- 107. I can only access Firefox one
time only by first reinstalling the new build.  Have to consider terminating
use, which has been okay in the past, very difficult to cope with. Your
notification of problems system also stinks.

Jack, the bug you reported is different than the one in comment 0. If you're still having that issue with Firefox 2.0.0.3, I recommend filing a new bug or getting support from the forums.

Due to lack of updates, I'm closing this bug as INVALID.

Matt, if you can reproduce this bug with Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later and with a new profile, please reopen.
