Well, then it confirms it comes from your network and not from Firefox. I suggest you follow this lenovo steps to configure your wifi and tell us if it helps you.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

hello, you talk about Chrome, but can you access to Youtube with Chrome? It looks like to a network issue, and I would like to confirm this point before investigating in Firefox. Are you trying to access Youtube from your company network?
