When I go into Firefox (current and previous version, It frequently pauses trying to get in often, is slow and stops and goes continuously. (ie. Lastpass keeps connecting and disconnecting stating it cannot connect to server.

Connecting is OK.

Chrome is fine.

Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
  • Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

My firewall, Webroot, is not the problem. It does not block internet access
