Smile! Thanks, Duncan! Connie Thank you, Connie! Someone asked a question I CAN answer. I've had the same experience. What I learned is that, when the blank page appears, you need to hit "refresh." The results of your original search will then reappear. Duncan Using Firefox, 27.0.1, Win 7. I don’t know if there’s a preventive cure for this. I google something, get results, click on one, read what’s there, hit the back arrow to the list of results and get a blank page. I know to reload the page, but this never was a problem in the “old” days. What’s that about?
