Firefox suddenly stopped loading websites

My Firefox is up-to-date (107.0.1), and it was working fine for some time but suddenly websites started to unload or partially load and so slow. I thought it was a connection problem but then I realized things work fine with Chrome (which I'm using now to type this). I checked the help articles about the possibility of being blocked by a firewall or anti-virus, and I did add Firefox in the exceptions for both, and I made many reboots, and still Fiirefox is not working and not loading the pages quickly (if at all). I even reduced the security level in Firefox settings and picked the "No Proxy" option, and disabled my anti-virus (Avast) completely, but nothing works at all. It was fine just yesterday.

I use Win7 64bit

Tips please? Thanks.

Thanks. Turned out it was the adblocker addons that i have installed. I had to remove them and add one of them only and things now are better. Thanks again.
