I reset it, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. tried it in safe mode. Private browsing kind of works but I have to toggle fire IE sometimes. Cleared cache.

In what what way is Firefox not working properly?

Can you give more details and possibly attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.

  • Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

No websites will load in non private browsing, just connecting...and the continuous circle. Cleared cache, and cookies. Still nothing. Had no issues Monday morning. This problem started Monday afternoon. Internet explorer works.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

I tried restarting firefox in safe mode to check my add ons for problems, but when I restart with add ons disabled, nothing happens. My add ons are still on.
