Running windows 10 I can't open firefox in windows regular mode but it shows in task manager. It started yesterday not opening secure sites. I can use ms edge in windows regular mode but can't reach any mozilla sites. It says waiting for reply. I can run firefox in windows safe mode which I am using for this post, everything working.

I've run malwarebytes and ccleaner in safe mode several times also hijackthis. Firefox updated 2/1//2019. I have done a reinstall over firefox. Firefox 86 works the same.

It is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox application. Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
