Paste URL to Firefox Will Turn Into "http://www.example.com"
This problem just happen lately, starting around one week ago I think. When I try to paste some URL from google sheet or sometimes I click some link to open in new tab, the webpage will load a blank white page, and the page tab will show the "http://www.example.com" (with quotation mark) instead of the page title. And I need to refresh once again, sometimes two.. for the page to load correctly
Any suggestion to fix this?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no
Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
After the above;
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Will you keep us posted ? Cause if Coinhive doesn't turn out to be the "culprit", we'll have to keep looking ....
I think it was surely coin hive..when i load all the page that blank white i try view the source and all is the same..and also i think the script file is loaded from the profile file..cause my thunderbird also detected by WDS infected with coin hive..
I try to run WDS offline scanning.. and after the restart and scanning..the problem seems to be gone for now.. without need to install any addon or malware scanner ..
