visiting the firefox Wikipedia article sometimes shows a blank page

[Josh Burghandy]

title says it all. sometimes all other webpages are working, but when you visit the firefox wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox), it shows only a blank page. Refreshing the page does nothing (multiple times).

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Sometimes Firefox extensions can conflict. Could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If this helps, you might want to try to disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one.

You can start the profile manager with the following command:
firefox -ProfileManager
