Cannot use firefox when vpn is on

When I use a vpn with firefox (not the firefox vpn), I cannot open normally blocked websites such as twitter or youtube, and instead they open in a sort of half-loaded state (see image). I don't face this problem with other browsers. I have tried deleting and reinstalling firefox, but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help out?

Hi formod

Do you have any add-ons installed in Firefox?

Sounds more like VPN issue then a Firefox browser issue as mentioned without VPN it works fine.

That's what I figured at first but since other browsers have no issues, surely it must be Firefox's problem right?

Yes I've got quite a few, but I've had them for a while now and this problem only started today

EDIT: actually after turning off all the add-ons my VPN started working again, thanks for the help!
