Your above posted Troubleshooting list shows changes to network.http prefs that can cause your problem. You should reset all network.http prefs that are bold (user set) on the about:config page.

Also some extensions like Illimitux can cause problems. See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
