I'll try sending this again...Google is my home page. After typing a search term and pressing Return, Firefox displays a blank page, although the information in the URL box appears to be correct. I then press the Reload button, and Firefox displays the search results.

I use Bitdefender. I asked them about this and was told to use a different browser.

I'll try to attach screenshots, but it didn't work the first time I tried this.
