Web pages will not load
My web pages do not load in Firefox whether I try from my Bookmarks or by typing the web address. They load fine in Chrome or Explorer. Here's what happens: Whatever way I choose to access a web page (bookmarks, typing web address, making a search) I see the "Connecting..." in the tab for a few seconds and then nothing. The tab returns to "Mozilla Firefox Start Page". Here's what I've tried: Restarting in safe mode with Add-Ons disabled Reseting Firefox Reinstalling Firefox Restarting the computer

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Hi,
This may indicate that Firefox isn't able to do DNS (name) resolution. Please see this.
