So, the problem is that I can't connect to some sites properly. For example: 1) https://www.speedtest.net/ - unable to test speed with any server 2) https://www.twitch.tv/ - on any channel I can't connect to chat, everything else is ok

Problem can be fixed by restarting the browser, but in like 5 minutes problem comes back

Notes: everything works fine in chrome, already tried adding firefox to firewall exceptions - no result

Problem is gone in the safe mode

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or it could be Hardware Acceleration. How to disable Hardware Acceleration {web link}

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.

If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.

Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Problem is gone in the safe mode. But what should I do to fix it in normal mode? Extensions are exactly the same as in chrome. Is there any setting in firefox I could've messed with that broke connection?

https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/music-saver/?src=search This addon causing problems and that is strange because it shouldn't do anything outside of vk.com site. But thank you very much anyway.
