This started on Monday, I went to play the weekly tournament but all I got was a white screen with angry birds ad banners top and bottom. I have googled this and so far I have tried Updating flash, shockwave, java. I tried clearing cookies and cache, Uninstalling firefox and reinstalling, tried with my antivirus off, tried uninstalling my antivirus, tried updating graphics drivers. I cant think of anything else to try, I know it's a local issue as I have friends who tell me theirs is ok. Between Sunday (when i was able to play) and Monday, nothing on my laptop changed, except the fact that it wont load, I've tried several other games on facebook but this is the only one that wont load.

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

FirefoxSafeMode

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode" Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Thank you.

Hi, Your help is much appreciated and aided me in resolving my issue. I had over looked the extensions so when I tried your suggestion I noticed I only had 2, an Epub reader and avast plug in. Obviously it's the avast, I had uninstalled my anti virus but neglected the plug in, I disabled it and hey presto. Once again Thank you very much.
