I was trying to access a site via the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/). It did not load, so I tried disabling all browser extensions. That did not work. I tried it in another Firefox profile that I rarely use, and have not configured at all. It does not work.

Hi Ethan, First, try this link:

https://archive.org/web/ ___________________________________________

If that doesn't help Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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