"Connection has timed" appears when trying to browse any website on school internet
This doesn't happen on Microsoft Edge, and I set Firefox to auto detect proxy settings, and disabled the IPv6, yet it still doesn't load pages

It is possible that security software (anti-virus, firewall) is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen or hold down the Shift key) to see if that has effect.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History").
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks and history and cookies and passwords and cache and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
Can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.
If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
Create a new profile to test if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

If I remove all data from Firefox, it works on the school internet and I reinstall parts or restore the data with the home network, can I still connect at school? I haven't installed any anti-virus software, would windows firewall count? I'll make a new profile, though I've only had this one for a week and installed some basic add ons.
Edit: None of these work :l, though putting windows into safe networking mode didn't let me to connect to the internet
