Firefox Blank Screen

So I have a quite annoying issue with Firefox app for my Android device. I'm using Galaxy Note 3. Now to explain the problem:

Sometimes when I open the browser and type address in the search bar, instead of loading the site, all I see is a blank screen. Happens with all sites. Even such ones like google.com or youtube.com Not sure if this is related to clearing things in the privacy section or whatever.

To resolve this, I have to close and re-open the browser. Any similar cases like this? I am using Firefox 36.0.4

Only when the connection timed out, does this happen consistently on different networks? Also what site is this happening in and do you accept cookies?

I'm only using my home network. I have set to accept cookies but it happens on all of the sites. Rarely, but it does happen.

Like when it loads the page, it's just a white screen with no pictures or text.
