I did the following

time and date is correct firefox network no proxy uninstalled and reinstalled version 46.0.1 (still) i didn't installed Nvidia Forceware Network Access Manager ... don't have Eset ,mbr and 360AV (still) clearing Firefox's cookies and cache (still) Can't sign into Firefox, getting "You must be connected to the Internet to sign in." Disable Windows defender (still) Firefox is ticked on Firewall settings.


Every other browser and internet-capable application is working fine, What's up with FIrefox ? I tried beta (latest 47) and stable.version which throw same error.

I've Adgaurd premium 6.0 installed though but uninstalling it doesn't make any difference and I tried restarting my computer dozen time.

I can open non-http sites albeit not fully, like Kongregate.com, It's text/hyperlink only!

@philipp Thanks!

I uninstalled Ad guard before reading your last comment and it restored my Firefox to working condition. "Adgaurd CA" in the "Certificate path" section of Internet explorer got me thinking.

I'll try that link, thanks!

EDIT: Disabling HTTPS filtering

To do so: 1.Go to the Adguard extended interface. 2.Disable the HTTPS filtering as it’s done in this picture:

Worked for me , easy!
