Start firefox and all is well, however shortly thereafter I cannot access sites that are in open tabs. Just sits there in TLS handshake. Exiting firefox leaves process running.

I created a dump.

What site is it doing this at and what version of FF and O/S are you using?

Hi, Windows 10, FF 57.0.2. Sites are all internal. Have been using this set of tabs for a long time, just noticed this problem a couple days ago. The problem on the tab did finally clear.

When I kill FF due to this problem something keeps running and I have to use task manager to kill it. I took a dump of the program but don't see an easy way to share.

I have attached a screen shot as the problem just happened again.
