None of the webpages open
My firefox is up to date. I have not added any new add-ons, and the ones I had before, I had no issues with. Recently when I open my firefox, none of the webpages open. I thought it was my connection but after trying a different browser, everything opens fine. I ran it in troubleshoot mode and the webpages open fine, but not when I go back to normal mode. I cleared out my cookie and cache, but that didn't resolve the issue.
Any ideas what is causing this?

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or it could be Hardware Acceleration. How to disable Hardware Acceleration {web link}
Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.
I found the problem! It was my Windscribe VPN. I had it as an extension in the browser and once I deleted it, that resolved the problem. :)
