Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading. Initially websites worked fine. Suddenly, the websites showed a spinning wheel and never finish loading. It happens only with firefox (e.g. Safari works fine). It happens to every website.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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