I use Firefox inspector a lot, like all day, and now for some reason it works correctly then it goes blank as shown below.

I then have to close it and reopen it but it goes blank after about 2 minutes so not a good solution.

Is there as fix for this?

I'm currently using 33.1.1 but this has been a problem since at least 32.0

Have seen this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980988 but it doesn't offer a solution that works for me

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I don't think this is related to the bug I'm seeing. I never mentioned an error page or stopping the web server in OP.

This happens on any site I extensively test on. Screenshot attached.

Try to update to the current Firefox 34.0.5 release.

  • Help > About Firefox

Start Firefox in to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

That didn't work.

As mentioned in OP:

"...this has been a problem since at least 32.0"

The problem is I can't "make" it happen, it just does, seemingly at random.

Did you also try a new profile?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Still no joy, I will add though that this happens on any PC I work on too, on any site.

I think it's quite simply a bug.

I know a lot of Devs who've moved to Chrome because of this but I don't want to, I prefer FF
