i.yming.com is on firefox when i open it up. it does not prevent browsing, however it will not allow anything except a blank white screen as my home page. i have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and am having the same issue.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
