Immediately after starting Firefox, if I try to open one of a couple of different links from the Firefox homepage, it will fail to load on the first try. At the moment, this only occurs with gmail (http://mail.google.com/mail/?hl=en&tab=wm#inbox or https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox) and reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/all or https://www.reddit.com), and occurs when trying from either the Homepage's Top Sites or from my Bookmarks toolbar.

Example: Open firefox -> Click on Gmail in Bookmark toolbar -> VERY briefly (<.5s) see the tab loading -> Nothing -> Try again -> Successfully loads

Firefox 81.0.2 (64-bit)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
