Sites that rely on embeded videos don't load properly. The videos usually appear as an "Unable to Connect" error, like the screenshot I uploaded as a random example. This doesn't seem to impact sites like YouTube, which host content themselves.

I tried running Firefox in safe mode, but this didn't change anything.

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}
