Blank Screen / Firefox bug?
I often get a blank page, no menus or anything just blank, when trying to access pages I know exist. I have figured this is just because the sever is busy. After getting annoyed by not getting a certain page in Firefox I tried IE and discovered that while it did not get the page either it did give an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error message instead of a blank page.
I am not posting so much to report a bug as to let other FF users know that there is indeed something more than a blank page when this happens.

However clicking on the third aviator for that group still brings up a blank.

Thanks a lot for any help.
certain library structures (such as a very large number of collections, a very large number of items in individual collections, or a very large number of items in your trash) some of the library pages will perform worse. This sometimes leads to the server timing out when trying to load your data and your browser returning a blank page.
We've got some changes in the pipeline that will fix this situation soon by offloading more of the work on the browser and loading sections separately.
The only comment I have about FF is that FF does not give any indication on that screen that there was a server problem. In IE you get an error message.
I am glad to see a fix is on the way.
@notan: sorry, misread your post. Indeed, FF (and Chrome/ium) should be a bit more informative about what's happening in these cases.
