Firefox won't load webpages or settings

As of yesterday, Firefox won't load any webpages or firefox pages (e.g. settings, config, etc.). I've tried refreshing the install, uninstall/reinstall, and updating my Microsoft visual c++ redistributables and this problem persists. By "not loading webpages," I mean that it doesn't even show that it's directing to any webpages when I attempt to route to them. Any advice?

If you use Webroot security software then look at this thread for possible workarounds for now like to run Firefox in Windows 8 compatibility mode or Firefox 98 Developer Edition.
