Firefox hangs on "Checking for Updates"
Subject line says it all.
Firefox has become unusable. These is no easy way to turn off automatic "Checking for Updates. Homepage and new tabs are set to Firefox Home and the "About Firefox" drop down shows "Checking for Updates" for several minutes everytime.
Microsoft Edge works just fine.

It is possible that (anti-virus) security software is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
