It doesn't sound right that fix permissions would cause your front end to give a blank page. If you experimented with the .htaccess helper, that could very well do it. If that is the case, rename your .htaccess file and the site should come back.
I'll flag this for Nicholas because I'm not familiar enough with the nuts and bolts of the fix permissions function yet.

I restored the site from the backup, then reinstalled Admin Tools. I decided to upgrade from Joomla 1.5.13 to 1.5.20 then performed the Permissions Fix and all is well.

I'm glad you got it working. One of those Joomla! updates in the middle teens made some major changes, I don't recall which one. I still don't understand the blank page though, maybe Nicholas will be able to explain it.

Up to and including 1.5.14 there were some nasty bugs in Joomla!, but I don't think that's the issue. Some extensions want to be able to write to specific file (e.g. create thumbnails for an image gallery) and crash if they can't. Fixing the permissions to 0755 may make some folders unwritable, causing those extensions to fail. Well, in such a case, you can try to see where the extension tries to write and use Custom Permissions to make that folder writable.
