Firefox problem

periodictable

Over the last few days, my browser is not opening any new tabs-for anything. Usually when I go online, all the past websites I've visited appeared in boxes- click on one to open that site. Now all I have is one box with MSN and the rest are empty-even typing the web address gets no response. To get any address I have to search thru Bing and click on the result to open the site.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Just started Firefox in safe mode, and all the tabs of past viewed webpages appear-just wonder how to have this happen outside of safe mode- apparently I have no addons to worry about...

bing is causing your issue.. uninstall the bing toolbar/bing desktop

i had a similar issue and removing the bing toolbar/desktop fixed it

Thanks, but i don't have a Bing toolbar-it's just Firefox-I had downloaded an MSN screensaver couple of days back, so just got rid of it. Still unable to type in address, hit enter and get to a domain though.

I had the same problem recently, un-installed and re-installed an earlier version. And then updated to latest.

Sorted it for me.
