Top part of home page is blank

When I start Firefox, the top ~ 1/3 of the screen of msn.com under the address bar is blank. This does not happen on any other webpage. It does not happen when I access msn.com from Internet Explorer. I downloaded the newest version of Firefox today and this did not help.

What do I need to change in order to see the top portion of the msn.com home page?

My operating system is Windows 8. I am using Firefox version 24.0.

This started fairly recently, the past couple weeks.

  3. Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
  4. From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
