Google is stuck as my homepage. Google won't change your homepage settings without your permission. Reset your homepage. Choose a browser above, then follow the steps to replace Google with the site you want as your homepage. Check for unwanted programs. If resetting your homepage doesn't fix the problem, you might have unwanted programs called. Log out of your Google account. Some folks report that running the search while not logged in to their Google account fixed the issue. Searching in an incognito window should do the same thing. Refresh the page.

Okay, so I created the new profile and everything worked like it was supposed to. So, I go back to my original profile to check it before I start transferring stuff over and it was working fine as well.
Not sure what occurred here, but I'm keeping the original and just going to keep an eye for the error. I have been getting the blank page for a week now, so I have no clue how it just stopped all of a sudden.cor-el, You mentioned corrupt files in your last statement; what types of files are you referring to, book,marks, add-ons, etc????Thanks again for your help.

In an old thread from last October on Google's forums, a Google person asked the user reporting this in IE to test with Instant Prediction results disabled. When Instant Prediction is disabled, Google search does a full page load every time you search and every time you go backward or forward to a new results page.If Google search works normally in that mode but not with Instant Prediction turned on, then there may be a problem with Firefox triggering the script that repopulates the results page with Instant Prediction results.

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't make sense to me that that would be the problem in this particular situation. If it were just one person having the problem, that could well be. You clearly know WAY more than I do about how Google and Firefox work.

I'm no computer expert. However, I've used computers and Firefox for a long time and have never had problems. I have not changed any setting in Firefox or Google in over a year. To me, it seems strange that now, all of a sudden, not only I, but other people have the same problem, all starting about the same time. What is the common denominator? If someone is using IE, they are likely on a PC.
I am on 2 different Macs with the same problem, both starting over the past week or so.

Google shows different pages to different users not just based on what it knows about them, but also as part of its constant experimentation with new layouts and features. At the same time, Firefox updates every 6 weeks, extensions and plugins update on their respective schedules, and your OS updates now and then.
Sometimes Firefox settings become corrupted or cached files get stuck. I don't pretend to know exactly what's going on with your Firefox, but there are lot of moving parts and despite everyone's best intentions, glitches happen.
If the workarounds help, that's great, if not, hopefully someone will have another idea. Hi DawnL, Google search is a very dynamic application.

And, it's happening on 2-different laptops, running 2-diferent Windows Operating Systems, And having 2 different older versions of FireFox that have Not been updated for a long, long time.I'm pointing this out, so that those In-The-Know, can see this problem is Not unique to the Version of Fire Fox, or installation of any updates (old 20.0 version Firefox, with No updates,on the laptop I'm currently on), running Windows 7 (Vista on other laptop, with an even older version).Like others reported here, I first noticed this about a week ago. (And I also noticed the background color around address bar went from dark to a light blue. At first, I thought maybe I got a virus or Trojan). My work-around is to right click and select the Google Search Page that should have come up when Blank Page happened.I want to also point out, once I enter a search in Google, and start going into a result, many times I go further and further away from the original Google Search Page. This happens if I get into Amazon or YouTube, where one page leads to the next, and so on. I can be 10, 15 pages away, and the Back Button works fine, all the way back to the Google Search page, that comes up as a Blank Page.Another thing I've noticed, as long as I stay within Google pages, for example, Shopping Results, without selecting a product, but rather the Next results page, and/or search options (price, brand, suggestions, etc.) I do not get the Blank Page when backing up to the beginning.
But, if I select a product or store, backing up to Google Results brings up a Blank Page.I'm new to posing here, but have read a lot concerning this problem. I wanted to add this information to hopefully help others figure it out. I just want to add, I'm having this exact same problem, also.
