Firefox stopped working for some webpages which load easily on chrome or safari. Some webpages do load up in firefox but not most of them, like www.nytimes.com, for example--and many others. I removed every trache of firefox from my computer, including the library. The problem persists. I have used firefox for a more than a decade and I would like to continue using it. What can IO do to fix the problem?

Make sure you are not blocking content.

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?
