FireFox not connecting to my network? (But my network is fine)
Hello! So the problem I'm having is every so often after ten minutes of Firefox working perfectly it will stop working. For example, it won't load any new pages it'll just be stuck pinging back and forth. The website will stop loading YouTube and Twitch will show network errors etc. And it's NOT MY NETWORK or router.
I'm hooked up threw an ethernet cable but my CPU and ethernet ( I just got a new ethernet cable CAT 8 because I thought it was my cable but it still doesn't work) only spikes when using Firefox it's like Firefox stops sending and receiving. Yet other browsers like Chrome work PERFECTLY. But I would prefer using Firefox since all my bookmarks and things are saved here.
I've tried clearing my cookies etc. I'm going to try redownloading Firefox but if there is anything else I could do please let me know. I have some images attached one of the balls just loading and I'll be waiting forever until I restart Firefox. The other is of a media player that says I have a network error but I only get this error on Firefox.
Thank You

Try changing secure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to "Off" or "Increased Protection" and in Connection Settings change "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy".
Thank you ill try this, I re-downloaded firefox and it worked just like before but it just started doing the same thing again!

Okay so having no proxy makes it worse if not the same I have it set to use system proxy by default changing, I set the other thing to increase protections which helps a little bit! When I looked at others they said to do the same thing but that not working for me idk. I'm probably just gonna re-download Morzilla it seemed to reset things.
Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

Hey! I don't wanna speak to soon lol but its working normally and if that's the case I can't see what extension would be causing the issues unless it was McAfee? That's the only extension I could see maybe blocking Firefox? The only other extensions I have our AdBlocker Ultimate and BetterTTV.
It's unfortunate that Firefox isn't working properly despite your network being fine. You've already taken some good steps in troubleshooting. I'd recommend trying Safe Mode, a profile refresh, and checking firewall or antivirus settings. If the problem persists, consider looking into DNS settings, network proxy, or even a complete reinstallation, i happend with with my site: (https://generatorfirst.com/) with as well, but i did same what i mentioned above and that work for me. If you need further assistance, Mozilla Firefox support or their community forums are great resources for help. I hope this resolves your Firefox issue soon!"
