Freezing- Will not load page unless Minimize than re-maximize.

It started yesterday, (7/29/13). I would open a page and it wouldn't load unless I minimized the window, then re-opened it and the page would be fully loaded.

Resetting Firefox works while I'm on, but shut my laptop (Hibernation, Sleep, or turning off) it does the exact same thing again, and I can't find any FIREFOX related issues. All the Chrome ones do not work.

All my plug-ins are updated, and I use a Dell Inspiron Window's 7 64 bit.

Some users find that Firefox 21-22 are dysfunctional when waking from sleep. The window frame controls work, but pages are inaccessible. Exiting Firefox and restarting it, then restoring the previous session (doesn't work for private windows) gets them back in business but of course that's annoying. This problem is fixed in Firefox 23 (releasing next week, or beta test version available now).

I think you might have some of those symptoms, but also an additional issue with pages not displaying correctly in the first place.

Can you recall any software updates that occurred around the time this problem started, whether with Windows, Flash, an add-on, or anything else?

When the page content is not visible, if you zoom in and out (Ctrl+ then Ctrl-) to force Firefox to "repaint" the page, does the missing content appear?

I dont recall any software updates, Its possible of course, but I don't remember any.

No, the zoom in zoom out doesn't work, I have to completely minimize the page.

If you reload using Ctrl+Shift+r to bypass the cache, does the page display correctly without having to minimize-maximize?

If not, hopefully Firefox 23 will fix it.
