Pages won't display only in Firefox, even in safe mode (I can see requests and replies coming back but it seems like the page rendering cancels).

I have tried safe mode, all the options outlined here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can

This doesn't seem to be related to any particular site. When I try to access a web server running locally on my machine, I can see that the request is sent and the server responds as well. But the page will not render.

What I'm trying to do: 1. Open firefox, navigate somewhere (works) 2. Browse around 3. Seemingly at random, when clicking a link, it will stay in the state a:active and the new address will be displayed in the address bar, but page content will not be rendered (link still active, as I was holding the mouse button on it)

One site that it happens with, is http://fortumo.com

happens in safe mode, with or without addons and doesn't seem to be affected by the theme either.

Anything unusual if you check the Net log or the Network tab in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K)?

Note that you need to reload the page (F5 or Ctrl+F5) to create/update the log.
