I think this is a Google toolbar issue, mine just did this after the update to 3.6.8 and my entire Google toolbar is gone.

I have v. 3.6.8. It will display blank white pages at some site and not at others. I use safe mode and the access is reversed... what used to open doesn't and what didn't does. . . Is anyone trying to fix this problem - or are users just left to chasing their tails on this issue? Just curious ... in order to help me decide to wait for help or move on to something else...

Until that time ... Earl J.

"Check ur add-onz!" God, that doesn't help anyone.

My problem is similar but not identical, half of my browser turns into an inactive white space whenever I use something full screen for too long(Game, movie etc.). I don't know what too long is. I don't have Google toolbar so that can't be it. Guess it's time to keep looking.
