Browsing the web on Win 11 with latest version of Firefox a white screen pops up
Only happens sometimes
How do I prevent this please or fix ?
After a few seconds to 10 seconds it goes away. When clicking/moving my mouse around.

Looking carefully at the Firefox icon on the taskbar it seems that FF is not actually 'Active' (as if it has not completed launching) because there is no grey line under the icon to show it is 'Active'. When my FF is open the line shows at bottom of icon as per photo: -

I'll agree but will add that a third-party add-on/customization is installed that appears to make Win11 look like an earlier version of Windows, could be having an adverse effect on the default appearance of Win11.

I think FF is slow to complete the launch sequence. The OP may try uninstalling FF and reinstalling it? Just a thought.

This is not on Firefox startup.
It happens after being open for a while too.
