Bug 280575 – www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.2 displays only a white screen

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Chris Slycord 2009-08-06 17:05:03 UTC]

I upgraded today to firefox-3.5.2 (and xulrunner-1.9.1.2). Now when opening firefox I get nothing but a window that is completely white/blank. No menus, etc. Clicking mouse on screen does nothing and keystrokes for opening files and such do nothing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.2
2. run firefox
3.

Actual Results:  
Useless white window

Expected Results:  
Browser to run
