If I try to do any search all it returns is a completely blank page, whereas if I type a specific URL in the browser bar it opens that page fine - any ideas? I'm running XP on my laptop.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
