Cannot load 3 particular websites - one loads in IE, the other two don't load anywhere at all, all 3 load on my smartphone.
About a week ago I've been unable to load 3 particular websites. They are as follows:
webchat.ppirc.net www.shrinemaiden.org waifu2x.udp.jp
I've used them all without trouble for months until about a week ago when they suddenly wouldn't load. Leaving them to load yields nothing, not even error messages. I've tried removing the related cookies, certificates, history, and all cache files to no avail. I've even flushed the DNS cache several times with no results.
Looking at the internet traffic via command prompt's netstat or TCPView shows not even an attempt at contacting any of these webpages. I've checked my anti virus (Avast) for blocks and even added them to exceptions. No dice. And as far as I know, the router's firewall has gone unchanged as well.
I can access waifu2x.udp.jp with IE, however the site isn't designed to work with IE so it's a hollow victory. As for the other two, they refuse to load as well, with the same results as Firefox. All three of them load on my smartphone, and other people running the same version of FIrefox have no issues.
I don't recall having made any major changes to my browser or operating system and I've done a malware scan with MalwareBytes recently which came up clean. I have not tried refreshing Firefox but given what it does and how I've done most of it manually already, I don't think it will help much. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
I've just tried safe mode with no palpable results. And I've read that article previously as well and tried the listed solutions. They haven't worked either.

Remove History For One Site Open the History Manager <Control><Shift> H. In the search bar, enter the name of the site. Right click on one of the listings and select Forget About This Site. This should remove all information, including any passwords / settings.
Yielded no results for any of the sites.
I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
All three websites load for me without a problem.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files. If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that helps.
