Firefox died, how do I fix?
I tried opening firefox this morning and what I saw was this: http://gyazo.com/76210f73922d433b81bb5623b862d9c8
I have absolutely no idea how this happened and how to go about fixing it. It seems that pages can still be loaded if i know where to click: http://gyazo.com/4aca72e0ab1cbaa2888df528980fe49b
I can close tabs and open new ones as well: http://gyazo.com/8a16f81035aa1cb7b360b64a9fc3171a
but none of the pages are actually displayed. It's just a black screen. I've tried reinstalling firefox but it came back as the black screen version. Can this be fixed? :C

hello Montacia, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem.
- Intel HD 2000/3000: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode by pressing the shift key while the application is launching & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
