Which version of Firefox were you testing? Are you able to consistently reproduce it? Have you tried Nightly/Aurora and or Firefox Beta for Android? As well, which device and Android version is that?

Reproduced it with  Firefox 20, 21(stabile and beta)-24 (Nightly).

Reproducable on Samsung Galaxy S2 and 3

 By the way. It isnt only online sites that show up like that, the addon-menu is also showing this bug.

Did you accidentally enable 'Don't keep activities' in the Android developer option system settings (http://r2d2r2.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/screenshot_2012-10-06-15-25-18.png)? If so, could you re-test this by disabling that?

Thx fir your reply

no

don't keep activities is off. I have to mention that this problem occurres more on the beta and alpha builds. The stable version also has the problem but far less rarely.

And as said, this only happens on booting the browser!

When the browser finally runs, this problem doesn't appear and if it does, usually the browser will crash within 10 seconds.

It can't be my phones ram because at starting up Firefox I usually have over 300 Mb free. I m using Galaxy S2 ICS 4.0.4

Thanks for checking. We havn't seen this particular issue on our Galaxy SII's (albeit my device I upgraded to Jellybean recently via OTA).

When you see a blank page, can you capture and attach a logcat from your phone? You can use https://play.google.com/store/search?q=aLogcat to capture, save and attach to this bug a log of activity from Firefox. There might be some details related to what you're seeing in that log.

aLogcat does not provide useful logs on JellyBean. Saving logs would require the Android SDK and running the command "adb logcat -v time".
