Firefox can't load the Samsung website?

I'm trying to open the Ssmsung website, but what happens is it briefly loads
but then immediately reverts to a blank web page (with no error messages)
unless I hit the Stop key, which will freeze it (so at least I can see some
content), but this is useless. This problem does not happen in Pale Moon,
interestingly enough.

Here is the URL:

https://www.samsung.com/us/

I have tried disabling most of the usual suspects and some other ideas, and
even tried a previous version of FF, but still it's no go. Does anybody
else have this problem on this website with FF? (I'm using the latest
version of FF for Windows XP, 52.9.0 too).

Works for me. same version. Maybe a pop up blocker?

Bill,

Does anybody else have this problem on this website with FF? (I'm using
the latest version of FF for Windows XP, 52.9.0 too).

It works for me, using FF 52.5.0

Possibly relevant: I have JS disabled.

By the way: what happens when you set (toolbar) view - page style - no
style ? It just might be a kind of CSS overlay ...

Works for me. Heavily armored Palemoon (NoScript on and a very
large anti-profiling hosts file).

Works in my system with FF v52.7.3.
Chances are that one of your addons is interfering.

If I use YesScript to disable JS I can get at least a partial load of the
web page.
I tried "no style", but get the same end result of a completely blank page,
of all things.

I guess my conclusion is that this is directly related to the handling of
some Javascript somewhere in my setup here. Well, as someone else has
suggested, I guess I should try disabling my add-ons, one by one, and see if
one of them is interfering with this.

It's strange that this doesn't happen in Pale Moon, which has most of the
same add-ons, but I'll have to investigate this more.

Thanks everyone. I found the culprit. It was due to my using an old
version of Adblock Plus. The one-by-one disabling of add ons nailed it.

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.
