Same here. Everything was working fine for and now Firefox will not load anything, even local sources such as my web router config page or Synology DSM management.

All other apps working fine so not an issue with network access.

I have same problem, refresh (more troubleshooting options - Refresh Firefox) did not help. I have disabled all add ons. Clear problem with 96.0.

I have the same problem but using FF 95.0.1

Since this morning, Firefox won't load any pages but Chromium works fine.

The browser seems to use a lot of CPU & memory (to the extent that my laptop goes in turbo mode) and the process won't stop if I close the browser (I have to manually kill it using the system monitor).

Also, I can't troubleshoot since the process won't quit on it's own.

FF: 95.0.1 OS: Ubuntu 21.10 (with Kde)

Disable HTTP3 support by disabling 'network.http.http3.enabled' key in about:config and then restart Firefox. Worked for me.

I downgraded to version 94 and it solved the problem for now :(

I have to thank Reddit for this.

I also have this issue. As suggested above I disabled HTTP3 support and it appears to be working now. Will report back if it goes back to hell.

Unchecking everything in 'Firefox Data Collection and Use' under Settings - Privacy&Security did the trick too, http3 could be enabled again after that. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1749908

Hi

I appreciate that you may have done this already, but please can you restart Firefox which should resolve this issue.

Earlier today, Firefox became unresponsive due to a change in defaults by a cloud provider which triggered a Firefox HTTP/3 bug. We disabled the configuration change and confirmed this fixed the issue.
