I have had Firefox Nightly installed on my android device for years with no issues. About two months ago, I started to experience an issue where nightly would not load any sites at all while I had the AdGuard app running. I am able to browse social media/ YouTube with no connection issues at all. I am also able to load traffic while in Chrome for Android and Firefox Focus. The regular version of Firefox and Nightly are the ones that do not load unless I deactivate AdGuard. I have uninstalled and installed all browsers with their standard tracking protection settings and have not messed with any other settings at all. This is not an AdGuard issue since the traffic loads with no problems on other browsers other than the ones mentioned. This happens on multiple Android devices exactly as described.

I am not convinced that indeed it is not an ADGUARD issue. It very much seems like one!
