I did the Firefox refresh and now the websites I try to visit have all have question mark boxes instead of the content. I have searched and searched the forums and other topics to try and figure out what the issue is but nothing seems to work. I have seen that others have the same issue but nothing has fixed the problem. 

 I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have restarted my computer, and I have tried changing to safe mode. In my "Finder" box on my Mac, under all files, there are also a lot of error message documents.
