Firefox not loading pages
I have had Firefox on my laptop for years but it stopped working a couple of days ago. When launched it just had a blank screen and says “New Tab” but gets no further than that. There is a network connection as Edge is running without any issues. I can type in a URL, click on a link to automatically open the browser – nothing works. The same problems is happening at home and in the office Firefox has been uninstalled, reinstalled and rebooted – all of which have failed to rectify the problem. When it was reinstalled in set a proxy by default, but this has been removed and now shows no proxy… no idea why it thought there was a proxy running.. Closing Firefox will result in 3 background processes running for approx. 60 seconds before the Firefox Crash Reporting box comes up. Currently running v64.0 – x64 on W10 (Build 1803)
