Hi tunnsee, Does a clean reinstall without the addons do the trick?

Another note this bug: Bug 947801 - DNS resolution sporadically fails in Android 4.4 when connected to a VPN has a very strange work around that seems that the root cause if a false DNS request? You can check this by enabling Remote debugging in the browser and connecting it to a usb and running adb logcat to capture logs. or check out the developer tools https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../Firefox_for_Android and make sure Network is enabled.

Does putting it into Airplane mode temporarily really act as a work around?
