Firefox Proxy Settings Not Allowing Connections - How Fix?

For the last ~6 months, my Firefox Windows build has been stuck connecting to numerous websites. Whether I enable auto-detect proxy settings or no proxy settings at all, the same result happens. The websites hang and do not resolve. Occasionally, some of the new Firefox releases have improved this, but then they revert to not working. I'm about to give up on this platform and switch entirely to Chrome which never has this problem.

Has anyone else experienced this? How if at all have you been able to fix it?
