I am unable to access any websites on Firefox. It will start up but as soon as you try to reach any site I get "An error occurred during a connection PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR"

I have been using Firefox for years without a problem. This just started.

I can use other browsers with no problems.

Web search; https://www.bing.com/search?q=PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR This simply means, that the peer or some middlebox in between (firewall) is terminating the connection.

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
