Try to open a new window via Ctrl + N

If that new window works then close the not working window.

Firefox is sucking really bad right now. There seem to be no solutions posted for this problem. Firefox 5 updated and then this problem started. Went back to Firefox 4 but problem now persists. This is crazy. I might have to go back to IE.
