Over the past few days, sometimes opening a webpage in a new tab leads to that page and all of my other tabs coming up just black.

For example- I will have several tabs running, and will hit the "+" sign for a new tab, and choose a website. Firefox will load the page (ie, the circle in the top left that denotes that a page is loading will run, and will then be replaced by the website's icon), but the tab itself will be pure black under the navigation bar. I know the page gets loaded, since the website's icon shows, and if it's a forum, for example, I will get the message that it's linked with Tapatalk; but suddenly all of my tabs are black. In order to be able to actually do anything on Firefox again, I have to either quit out or Force Stop it; however, the problem eventually recurs. I've even uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, to no avail. I'm using an old Motorola Atrix (bought it summer of 2011), and the latest version of Firefox. Not really sure what's going on here. Thanks!

This has only been going on for about a week now, but it's very frustrating.

Have you added any new extensions? Does the problem happen in Firefox safe mode? It could be an extension affecting the tabs.

Well, the only add-on I have is the AdBlocker Plus, and I'd installed it when I first installed Firefox, so I don't think that was the issue. Also, can you even run Firefox Safe Mode on a phone? (I wasn't super clear that this is on my Android phone; it's buried in my post a bit.)

But yeah, I don't think it has to do with any add-ons.

Sorry, I am not familiar with Android, only with iOS.
