I've tried removing and adding it back in my firewall settings, reinstalling firefox but nothing works. The last update (28/1/2017) just broke my browser and it's pretty annoying refreshing my browser everytime i start it up

hello, this sounds like a problem with the new multi-process architecture in firefox (codename "e10s"): https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2016/08/02/whats-next-for-multi-process-firefox/

please try disabling e10s like this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2. double-click it and change its value to false and restart the browser.
