Glad you found the culprit. FWIW, I get something that looks plausible -
certainly not blank - with my FF 27.0.1 (with some version of ABP that
works with it).
Main reason for posting though: I often see this "one-by-one disabling"
mentioned. If you have more than a very small number of add-ons, a
binary search will find the culprit in fewer steps than one by one: if
you have eight add-ons, it will find it in three steps, rather than up
to seven. (Make a note of which ones you disable though, as FF reorders
them when some are disabled.) Since disabling/re-enabling add-ons often
requires a restart of Firefox, the fewer steps the better.

Good point. I didn't feel I had quite have enough to use a binary search,
but it sure is a good idea in some cases. And in my case, I pretty much
knew some of my add ons wouldn't likely be related to the issue at hand.
