Firefox is extremely slow and doesn't open articles in my favorite online paper. I have tried resetting and reinstalling Firefox, but nothing helps.

In my paper when I select an article, it opens a window with only a portion of the article. I have tried a different browser and have no problems.

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

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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

I tried removing clearing cache and cookies, running in Safe Mode but it didn't make any difference.
