That may be caused by security software. ESET was a recent culprit. You have to disable the software or add mozilla. org to its trusted list. Updating the security software may also fix the issue.
i don't use any antivirus or security programs, i have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, still no fix. i checked windows firewall, firefox is allowed to go through.
You could troubleshoot. It may be a problem with one of your present add-ons. You could also try a new profile. If that solves the problem, you can transfer data from the old profile but you will have to reinstall add-ons.
