I am pulling my hair out... I have used Firefox for years. Two days ago, Firefox stopped loading some (but not all) pages. It tries for a long time, then an error is given "The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." I have refreshed Firefox (tried multiple times). I have run in troubleshoot mode (tried multiple times). I have disabled all of the extensions I was using. I resorted to uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (have done this twice now). Still, some websites are not loading. Examples include weebly.com, pandora.com, dictionary.com, and other websites that I have built with weebly. These websites load fine if I use Chrome. I am using Firefox 90.0 (64-bit) and Windows 10 Home that is completely up-to-date.

Does anyone have an idea of what happened? I really don't want to resort to using a different browser.

Thank you in advance.

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
