After restarting my computer (and firefox presumably updating), I have trouble accessing almost all websites. One of the few that somehow works it this: http://stephenm.org/smfforum/

Chrome has no problem at all accessing any websites. I have tried deactivating my antivirus and my firewall to no effect. When Firefox fails to load the website just a blank screen appears, no error message. Sometimes it says 'Failed to load secure connection', but not with all https websites and not always. Safe mode didn't help. I am trying to download Firefox 65.0.2 to see if it was the update that broke stuff - it also happened on my other computer, exactly the same errors and symptoms.

hi 1993matias, do the connection errors also happen during private browsing mode?

Same behaviour in private browsing.

Version 65.0.2 shows the same issues :/

Strage, very strange. After restarting my computer in safe mode with network, version 65.0.2 worked. And then after a normal reboot it works again. I don't know if it's because it's the earlier version 65.0.2 or what, but I don't dare changing it...
