If return please list your Extensions & AV/Firewall Programs.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Thank you for your reply. I have tried all the recommended fixes from Mozilla but none appear to have fixed the problem. I tried to change my profile to see if this would work but it was to difficult for my knowledge. I am using Norton as my Firewall and in addition a firewall operated by my internet provider. All worked together for the past year but suddenly this problem arose.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
