Certain websites stop and start working randomly
For a while now, there have been two websites - budk.com and lcpdfr.com which stop and start working randomly. When they stop working, FireFox doesn't even attempt to open the site. I'll click on the icon, for a split second it looks like it's trying to load, then just stops. When this happens while I'm on a webpage, my page doesn't even change. It stays on the same page as if I've not done anything.
Later, it'll start working and I can use those sites - until it happens again and they stop working. This only happens in Firefox, no other browsers.

Bump, I really need help figuring this out.
BUMPING. This is still a huge issue. I've discovered if I open a private window and load the page, the page loads, then it will load in the normal window.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).
"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Data
"Clear the Cache":
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content: Clear
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
