Firefox won't work when open the website of wordpress here is my website http://happybirthdaylines.com/awesome-birthday-wishes-niece-2017/ to the internet or load any of the pages. The internet connection is fine. IE is working, though it does get a bit slow sometimes and I can't seem to download anything.

I've checked: 1.)Anti-Virus software - no threats found 2.)Firefox Setting: It's directly connected to the internet; no manual proxy setting. 3.)Firewall is not blocking Firefox

Any ideas what might be the problem?
