After update to version 56 my Firefox refuse to open any page. It simply just load for eternity without any feedback or error. It seems like it won't even connect outside. However private window option works properly without any issues.

I have tried: - Reinstall FireFox - Change my security settings to allow FireFox any form of communication. - Change Proxy settings. - Disabling DNS prefetch. - Clearing all data (cookies, cache, etc.) - Disabled IPv6 - Last but not least I restarted my computer.

None of it had any effect on functionality. Other browsers work without any issues. Computer is not affected by any malicious software, as far as I can tell. Funny thing is that, if I try to open website after seconds of startup it will do it. Few seconds more and were stuck. Not sure what is going on there. Any advice would be more then welcome.

Hi,

ok now I feel dumb. I completely forgot about add-ons (facepalm).

Thank you very kindly for the help. You saved remnants of my hair.
