Firefox can not load http://www.utah.edu
I have Firefox 45.0.1 installed on Linux (distribution: Arch Linux). Firefox is not able to load the webpages "*.utah.edu". If I type in http://www.utah.edu there is the loading icon (rotating circle), which runs for a couple of minutes, and stops with blank page. The same happens with https://www.utah.edu. This is a well known public website, and other browsers like Opera/Links load this fine.
I have tried solutions like disabling ipv6, dns prefetching, clearing history, but nothing worked.

Thanks for the message. Starting firefox in safe mode helped me isolate the problem. It was the NoScript extension. I like the having NoScript, but at least I know the problem was NoScript. Maybe this can be isolated to a specific setting of NoScript.
