I tried this, along with the aboout:config aolutions I could find but with no luck

My laptop works okay with both proxy and auto but I had to uninstall my vpn before the latest FF would update properly (which I did from the download not the in browser updater). I tried this on my pc but it still won't load pages, there is a dot rocking on the tab but it won't load a full page.

I tried amending thne https permissions too

I'll turn it off for an hour or two and do something else, that seems to be a good solution sometimes

I thik I've resolved this. The update installed but the software in the browser was still searching for it. I noticed that the updates in the settings area keeps spinning, so by closing FF then restarting it on the systems page, it seems to have cleared the problem
