Firefox fails to load certain sites
Firefox fail to load certain site with message Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
I tried all the Mozilla support options: clearing cache, refreshing firefox, load in trouble shooting mode, reinstall and problem still exists. Other browsers don't have problem

This should not shut my internet connection down, should it? I had a problem just after I tried this. But it appears to be working now. Thanks for the quick help

Hello,
This error can be caused by many things, but I think that the easiest one to try to see if it is causing issue is DoH. It is a measure that although secures your dns queries, may not be the best, as errors like this may crop up. To disable this, go to about:preferences#general and find the network settings. Click on change settings and turn off DNS over HTTPS.
More information about DNS over HTTPS can be found at DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) FAQs

radi.stoyanov said Turns out the option DNS over HTTPS is what caused the problem.

cor-el said This usually means that Firefox wasn't able to find a cipher suites to use to connect to this server and reached the end of the list. There can be two possibilities: one is that the server is outdated and doesn't support modern cipher suites, another might be that the server only supports a few cipher suites and Firefox doesn't support any of these.
You can check your browser and possibly compare this with the server setup. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html
