Troubleshooting

Webpages are blank after updating RealPlayer

This is caused by the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension.
To fix it, disable the extension.

The RealPlayer plugin will still work.

At the top of the Firefox window, open the Tools menu and click on Add-ons. The Add ons window will open.
Select the Extensions panel.
Select RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin.
Click on Disable.
Click Restart Firefox to start Firefox with the extension disabled.

Hope this article can help you that find the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin firefox 5 trouble. I also waiting for Mozzila answer !!

Best opinion from RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin doesn't work with firefox 5 :

" The Google Toolbar still works just fine with Firefox 5.0. However, because of Firefox' poor compatibility design, until the editor releases a new version, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.

Each extension specifies the maximum compatible version, which is probably 4.0 in your case as Firefox did not give devs any time to verify and re-release their extensions for version 5.0.

The Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the extension can still work on version 5.0, just like it did on 4.0."

I think this is also one of best solution for you,

"Google Chrome supports "Real Player" as does Firefox 4. You could migrate to one of those browsers until Mozilla resolves their incompatibility issues. I mean... Isn't software supposed to be backward compatible?"

We still waiting Mozzila and the Plugin developers handle this issue!!
