Connectivity and Crashing issues
Since my browser is updated to 43, I am seeing connectivity related issues. Currently, it is at 43.0.4, I have submitted at least 3 crash reports after updated to 43. And submitted feedback reports few times recently, so those reports might have some troubleshooting information. Main problem I am seeing is - after opening the browser, it works fine for some time. There is no definite time frame but after sometime, none of the websites open. It either shows empty page as if I opened an empty tab or the error that says 'connection was reset'. 90% of the time it is empty page. While it tries open the pages, it says 'looking up <website>' or 'resolving <website>' in the bottom corner overlay. My problem is almost same as what was described in another post where some users who have 'NVidia connection manager firewall' installed. But I do not have this installed. So not sure what else is causing this in my system. But how come firefox is vulnerable to those applications installed and other browsers do not. All the times when firefox is not working, Chrome worked perfectly fine although bit slow comparatively.

As a test, disable / update McAfee DLP Endpoint
Hi, Thanks for the analysis and update on the potential root cause. But unfortunately, I cannot disable McAfee because it is my work laptop and I do not have sufficient privileges to do so.
Probably there was a McAfee update that started causing the issue but I haven't seen this issue prior updating firefox to 43. Also at the same time, chrome is working perfectly fine. Even now I am using Chrome to post the reply as firefox is not working and I just submitted another crash report.
How come firefox is vulnerable to anti virus software but other browsers are not ? So I believe there is a bug in firefox. Should I mark this question as resolved as there is already a bug open ?
