At least once a day since the update, firefox will stop connecting to webpages and just hang trying to load. Internet connection is working, tested with other apps at the same time. When I quit, it tries to close but then requires a force quit. When I relaunch it works fine. OSX 10.11.3 on a 17" Macbook pro

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
