Firefox 44 stuck on "Looking up domain.com" and crashes when closed on Windows 7
In the last day Firefox 44 is no longer able to load any sites. With every page I try to load the title in tab changes to "Connecting..." and the status at the bottom of the window also remains stuck on "Looking up google.com". I recall that in the last few days Java was updated as well
I've performed a reset, but the problem continues, while Chrome works perfectly.
Chosen solution
I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled Firefox 64 bit per these solutions and that appears to have solved the problem

Nearly forgot. I also tried running FIrefox in safe mode prior to performing the reset, but the same issue occurred.
Looks like I have the same issues as the following:

And my anti-virus is also MS Security Essentials.
