My wife's My MSN (i.e. her home page) is now not displayed correctly when she uses Firefox. It used to be OK but not recently. The page is displayed as a blank. Has anyone had the same problem? Any ideas how to correct this problem?

The image below shows what she is currently getting when loading My MSN:

Sorry ident, that was misleading, that screenshot was taking on my PC (I use nonscript, but she doesn't on her PC).

Yes, I guess I do - just don't care because I don't use MSN as my home page.

Thank you Hazel, as per that post I was able to fix the problem by deleting the cookie to My MSN and signing back in. I used CCleaner to delete the cookie but first had to move it from the exclude list. After signing back into My MSN I put the cookie back on the exclude list in CCLeaner. I tried a couple of times and now there is no problem with the page. Weird how a cookie can cause a problem like that, I guess it was corrupted somehow.

I always use blank:page as my homepage. And I have blank:page listed as disabled in NoScript. Thus, it really is a blank page. It's horribly white, but it will suffice.

I personally use this forum as my home page. I always check this forum on my cyberspace travels anyway so I decided that I may as well start here. :)
