new tabs will not load anything, from address bar or search bar

more options

Since update, any new tab will not load anything unless I click from a link in the tiles. Even if it offers a repeat site in the address bar, just circle-load nothing for hours if I let it. Search bar is DuckDuck, butsince it happens in address bar, I doubt it's a searchbar issue. Everything works as usual in Opera, I removed & reinstalled Firefox in Windows Firewall, still no go. Help !!

Perfect !! I turned off Mega-Sync & reloaded FF, didn't help. But I neglected to disable the plug-in, after I did that it woks wonderfully !! Much appreciated :)

Ok, I went back & enabled Mega in add-ons/plug-ins, and the problem is back. Is this a Mozilla issue, or the plug-in, or Mega - who needs to fix what?? Thankfully I do have the address & search bars back, but not Mega without another fix somewhere. Fos
