  • What version of firefox, what version of Ubuntu, and what firefox extensions or customizations do you have ? My guess would be a corrupt extension. Disable all your extensions and re-enable them one at a time. If the fails, try starting firefox with a fresh profile firefox -P

I had the same problem after fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10. The problem was solved after I deleted my custom fonts.

I keep my fonts in "/user/share/fonts/truetype/fonts from web". When I copied my "old" fonts into this "fonts from web" folder, Firefox went blank. Took me about two days though to realise the problem. As soon as I deleted custom folder, Firefox is back. Some of the old font must have been coliding. Have to investigate more.
