What Happened to Mozilla Firefox?

I have been using Mozilla Firefox as my browser for years. All of a sudden, a few days ago, it won't load. It comes up as a blank screen. Because of that I have been using Google Chrome. Has anyone else been having this difficulty? I've even tried re-installing Firefox; but that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, when I'm using Google Chrome, new searches do not come up in a new tab or window. I've checked the "Settings" option; and I don't see anything that will make new searches come up in a new tab. Can you help? Thanks! I want to go back to using Firefox if possible. Photo Credit: Pixabay

I like Firefox and I'm still using it. Unfortunately I have no idea what might be causing your problem. Could you have got a virus somehow?

I don't think so. It's the only problem I'm having.

I used to use Firefox but now I use Chrome. I also sometimes use Microsoft Edge but that’s mainly to do Microsoft Rewards stuff or if something I’m doing on Chrome doesn’t work properly. Is there a way to troubleshoot Firefox?

@LindaOHio can you screenshot it? Maybe I will come up with something for you to try.

With chrome, you have to manually select and choose the search to open in new window. Chrome Is the best. Sorry about the trouble with Firefox. I wouldn't recommend it. I used to have trouble with it in the past.

I haven't used firefox in ages, so can't really help. I use the Brave browswer and it is what I prefer.

@LindaOHio I use it mainly because it is good at keeping pop ups away. You can also earn crypto using it but I don't bother with that

I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about that browser; I use Safari or Chrome.

I don't use Firefox, but I tried downloading it for a survey I was taking online and it got all glitchy on me. I don't think it is good as it used to be.
