I've been dealing with an issue in Firefox where links opened in new tabs (mine were opened from Google News) don't load. All I would see is the URL (not page title) in the location bar and an all black page.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to http://news.google.com.
- Open a news link in a new tab.
- Switch to the tab.
At that point, is the tab loading? In my tests, on an Intel device, I get the behavior described above. I tried with Firefox 26 Beta, Firefox 26 Release, and today's Firefox nightly. This also seems to affect links loaded from external shortcuts. See
Bug 940158. I was talking with ckitching on IRC. When asked what could be going on, he posted this.
