Firefox opens to a blank or black screen

Here's a random fix we've seen twice now this week.  Firefox, hardware acceleration issue.

unchecking the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option solves this issue. This option is in the Advanced section, under the General tab.

Apple Mac Adware Malware Cleaner = Tested. Amazing.

I had an awful adware infection this morning and AdwareMedic was the answer. Removed all traces of hidden extensions and adware. 

Homepage : http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

Added it to Dropbox\_Mac Apple folder



Worked quickly. Requires a restart, all clean afterwards.
