What can I do to get Google + to show more than a blank page?

more options

Since Firefox was upgraded to v24 Google + just shows a blank page. When I click refresh the Google + page appears and shows posts but then goes blank. I've cleared the cache but this makes no difference.

Chosen solution

Could you also try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using

Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)

Any difference?

Clearing cache helps in many cases, but with Google, you might also need to remove the site's cookies.

Save any pending work first, then, while viewing a page on the site, try either:

  • right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.

Then try reloading the page and logging back in to Google+.

Any improvement?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm afraid it made no difference though.

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.

Thanks. That solves the problem. I think it must be Adblock Plus.

Thanks. That was the solution.
