Since the last update, Firefox has intermittently started with a blank white page under the upper url line, instead of my default webpage (google). Sometimes it behaves. Usually after the glitch if I call up Firefox again it works correctly. Never had a problem before the last update.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
