I've had this problem since for several years, probably going back to v15 or so. Firefox loads and works fine for a while. Then, suddenly, for reasons I do not understand, it refuses to load any more webpages. I get a "server cannot be found" error. It's like Firefox forgets how to do an IP lookup, or gets a bogus answer that redirects to an IP that is bogus. It doesn't wait or timeout either. Once I get it once I cannot browse to any website until I close Firefox and reopen the program. Even opening new browser tabs or windows doesn't help. I have to completely exist Firefox (all instances).
I would like to note that if it is "about to break", when I click a link, bookmark, or type in the web address, when I hit enter it fails within a second or two. It doesn't sit around and timeout after 30 seconds.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything that is out of the ordinary. I have a few plugins, but this happens on multiple computers, including some that have no plugins disabled.
Here's things that may be affecting this behavior for me:
1. I use a hosts file to block a lot of spammy websites. I use a program called hostsman to handle the hosts file. I have the DNS service disabled because it cannot handle the number of entries that are in the hosts file. (been using this for more than 10 years) 2. I have disabled disk caching (I use an SSD and I have found that disk caching creates more problems for browsing than its worth). I still do the in-RAM caching, and it's not uncommon for Firefox to be using 1GB of RAM or so. I don't think I've ever seen it use more than about 1.2GB of RAM. All of the systems have massive amounts of free RAM. My main desktop has 64GB of RAM, with 75-80% of it free typically.
I've also seen this at different physical locations (home, work, other side of the country at friend's house's, etc.). This problem only affects Firefox. I haven't seen it on Chrome or Internet explorer (albeit I don't use them for hours on end). I typically have this issue a few times a day. I do work from home, and most of my work is in the browser, so it can be a bit annoying.
Right now my hardware on this machine is:
Lenovo Y55 with 16GB of RAM, i7-4700HQ and 512GB SSD. Other systems are far more powerful than this one, so I tend to think that hardware is not the problem.
Thanks.

I have shopathome.com ribbon that is on my screen. I asked for assistance in removing it and when I tried to do what Mozilla suggested there was not only NO add-on but it's totally confusing. I don't understand the arrow deal after menu and it's STILL there. Can you give a simpler way to remove this annoying ribbon. I am so frustrated I don't want a virus or anything else for that matter.

Whenever i boot up or restart my computer, when i open firefox for the very first time, it doesn't matter whether i'm using the homepage settings or the open previous sessions settings, firefox will show me "firefox is unable to restore previous windows or sessions..." and this is really annoying. It only happens when i start firefox for the first time when i boot up the computer. it won't happen if i simply close firefox or end it's process. why is this?

Greetings,
Before anyone gives me a response saying its probably my cookies, I've done that already after following the advice on another users post with the same issue.
I can login fine on all of my portable devices and Internet Explorer. I'm running Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition with the most recent stable build of Firefox (37.0.1 at time of post).
This occurs with all of my addons /extensions turned off.
Its not the login details that are wrong as I get a username and password error if I enter them incorrectly (I did it deliberately). I enter my details, the page goes back to the homepage as its supposed to but I'm not logged in.
I don't know if it makes any difference but when I go to Options>Privacy - If I select "Use custom settings for history", and click OK. When I go back into the menu its reverted back to the default "Remember history"

It started last Sunday whilst talking to my son on Skype. I began getting voices from adverts coming through on Skype etc. When I looked on task manager it appeared to be caused by internet explorer. It took me 9 attempts to close the program only for it to start up again 10 minutes later. I have even uninstalled internet explorer to no avail. I am still getting problems. I have spoke to my local PC world store, who say that they have not come across this problem. So I am contacting yourselves for help.

When I try, there is no response at all, although every other site function works. Any ideas?
