(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[jimbob833]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When entering the URL http://usatoday.com and clicking ENTER, the page begins to load placing content on the screen.  After the "real content" appears, the ads and their software begin to load and shortly after that the content disappears before everything is loaded and the word DONE appears in the bottom lower corner.  I have tried updating the add ons, but no updates are available.  I have rebooted the system with the same results.  If I want to view usatoday.com, I must use IE, which I do not want to do.  But with FireFox, I can see nothing from usatoday.com.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter http://usatoday.com in the URL space, click enter
2.initial content (the article) appears
3.software continues to load to control the ads and then the entire page goes blank.
Actual Results:  
Blank tab screen

Expected Results:  
Expect to see article and ads from usatoday.com

No errors are shown.

This works fine for me. Can you retest in safe-mode / with a new profile to make sure that this isn't caused by an add-on or other profile customization or corruption?

Also a clean reinstallation could help.

I removed all add-ons, uninstalled FireFox, cleaned the registry, installed FireFox and it works.  I suspect one of the add-ons and will add them back in one at a time testing after each install.  Thanks for your help.
