To use Firefox on two screens, I open two instances of the browser. Or listening to streaming radio, and open a second browser results in blank page in second browser. Home page does not load, tool bars fail to load even though tool bars are checked as opened. To open the tool bars have to unselect and the re-select. To open the home page I have to click on the home page icon. All this use to happen without fail in 3.6.

Copied from cor-el:

>If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then >try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the >problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe >Mode start window to disable all extensions.

I found the offending addon to be Google toolbar.
