Cannot Browse despite having internet connection
Firefox will no longer loads any webpages. I uninstalled and installed again and it worked for a few hours and then again stopped loading pages. I am now using Microsoft Edge since last night and it works perfectly. I have checked in Bitdefender and Firefox is approved on my system. My internet connection is working fine on my tablet just not a my laptop.

Hi Karl, what are you getting on pages? For example, "time out" or other indication that the server is not responding; server not found; other connection error; endless loading.
Have you seen any error messages mentioning VCRUNTIME140_1.DLL? When I got that problem, even tabs I restored from a previous session had a blank address bar.
If you don't find another explanation, you can reinstall the shared VC Runtime files from:
I downloaded and ran both the 32-bit and 64-bit installers in the first section of that article ("Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019"). Then I restarted Windows and all was normal again.
I don't know whether 64-bit users need the 32-bit install, but Windows didn't object when I ran it (I ran it first, then 64-bit second).
Any improvement?
