Probably a server issue; when I got the blank screen I did CTRL-U to

When that happened to me a few weeks ago, I used wget to grab
the webpage, and the server was timing out. Couldn't Mozilla
report an error instead of just displaying a blank page?!
It's rather confusing.
Agreed.
But it depends what the server is sending. If it really sends nothing or
doesn't respond, a software routine could detect that; you'd probably
get a 404 error or something. But if it sends something that you and I
perceive as blank that isn't quite blank -- say, a single space
character -- the software would not be able to analyze and evaluate that
as "not interesting enough."
