Firefox will not load pages, network logs sometimes return status code and nothing else

I'm not too sure how to describe this issue. Firefox will not load any pages, including ones from an HTTP server on localhost. The details for the requests in the Network tab in the devtools are blank (the Headers, Cookies, Params, Response, and Timings tabs are all empty). The console shows the requests, sometimes with a status code. Regardless of the status code, the page doesn't actually load. I tested with some XMLHttpRequests and got the same results. Firefox can successfully render files from the disk (file:///home/user/whatever/idontknow.html), but it will not display any pages from a network.
It can, however, install extensions/themes from the about:addons page. It loads the recommended themes and extensions and can download and install them without trouble.
This issue persists if I disable all plugins/extensions.
I've gone through every relevant-looking support page and tried:
- messing with my DNS settings (unlikely an issue with DNS as even localhost requests are broken)
- changing my proxy settings from "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy" (I don't use a proxy)
- updating Firefox (Arch Linux had a new version of the package which seemingly only changed the .desktop file used to launch it)
- rebooting
- reinstalling Firefox
I tried to troubleshoot this myself, but had no idea what the issue could possibly be.
I don't have a strange network configuration, and other browsers work fine.

When I open my most visited tabs (Top Sites) with triple-click (open in new background tab), they started sorting incorrectly yesterday.
Let's say I'm in New Tab, and I triple-click 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Top Sites in that order. In the past, the order of tabs would be New Tab, 1, 2, 3. Since yesterday's update… (read more)
Let's say I'm in New Tab, and I triple-click 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Top Sites in that order. In the past, the order of tabs would be New Tab, 1, 2, 3. Since yesterday's update, the order is now New Tab, 1, 2 (as usual), but then 3rd Top Site opens up right behind New Tab, so the final arrangement is New Tab, 3, 1, 2. Why on earth could this be happening!?

I placed my MOTO E5 Play phone in hotspot mode.
I went to my laptop and can see the hotspot and can connect to it.
However, I have tried using Firefox V68.0, Edge, and Internet Explorer and get nowhere.
I get stuck on the "Performing TLS handshake"
Not sure what to do next.

With the installation of Firefox 68, I can no longer open a link from outside Firefox. I get the Close Firefox box that says... "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."
This worked just fine until installing version 68. I do NOT have the -no-remote parameter on the shortcut to open Firefox.
Is there some setting I can change? Seems like every major FF version breaks things and it's getting very frustrating.

Webpages will load very slowly if I use Proxy PAC file in Firefox browser wherein it loads normally without any delay when I configure proxy IP in the browser internet settings. Tested it in other browsers and did not find any slowness there. Is this the normal behavior of FireFox browser or I need to change any settings?
