Firefox displays a simple "0" as a page, a page full of gibberish or wants to download a page
Hello, everyone.
I'm going positively crazy with this problem because it's slowly getting unbearable. A few months ago Firefox started showing the following symptoms on RANDOM pages at RANDOM times (but always when loading a page): - page will only display a simple zero (0) and stop. - page will display a bunch of gibberish. This can also happen when I, for example, wish to reply to a thread on a forum; the page will load as will the reply window. However, it seems as if the code for the reply window breaks somewhere and instead of being empty and allowing me to enter text, it displays gibberish. - page will display a bunch of HTML information (NOT HTML code) instead of loading the content. - page will not load but Firefox will want to save it as a file instead.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and keep my system clean of viruses and unneeded rubbish. The only add-ons I use are the British dictionary, Java and Adobe (which installed itself on its own when installing Flash, I think). I never had such problems with Firefox before and it is driving me crazy. I'm out of ideas as to how to correct the problem; I've already tried reinstalling the add-ons, disabling them, etc. Nothing worked. Please help.
Thank you for your time!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
- Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
- Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
- Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
- Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Hello and thank you for the prompt answer.
Unfortunately, all the symptoms persist even in safe mode. I have managed to copy one of the HTML codes I get sometimes instead of a page. And in this instance, the page loaded properly but the advertisement (by Google) did not load properly; instead it displayed this:
0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2011 21:01:22 GMT Pragma: no-cache Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-cache Cache-Control: no-store Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8
I have just noticed... Even though Firefox claims all add-ons have been disabled, including Shockwave Flash, I can still view Flash videos/applications and the like.
And here is another advertisement that failed to load: 0

Update! **POSSIBLY SOLVED**
I might have finally found out the root of the problem. I have been using a local proxy software Proxomitron to block various scripts, ads and the like on website. Even though I did not think it to be the culprit, since it had always worked fine, I have tried removing the Firefox connection to go through the proxy. And voila, all of the symptoms are suddenly gone. I have yet to experience them again after about 3 hours of total usage.
So, in the end, the problem wasn't in Firefox at all. Apologies!
