Could you test a couple other things:

(1) Mozilla Support menu item

Tap the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar, then Help > Firefox Help

Can Firefox load its own support site?

(2) Search bar

On the main toolbar, the search bar is the shorter box to the right. When you start typing a search in that box, you will see icons for other search sites. After typing your search text, try clicking an icon for a different search site to see whether it goes through.

If none of those work: Could you check the issues raised in this article: Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can. Anything there helpful?
