Firefox cant connect to the internet after a while of being on
Hi,
I posted this question some time ago and since i didnt get any working solution and I still have this issue I am reposting it now. My problem is simple: I start up my computer and open Firefox. I browse the internet normally. No problem so far. But lets say I go to take a nap or I just stop browsing to do something else on the computer without closing Firefox or whatsoever. After a while I go back to browsing on Firefox (the same window with the same tabs are still open) but now no page will finish loading no matter how long i wait.
So I close Firefox and open it again. Then I get a popup error saying Firefox is still running and that i need to close it. When i close that popup then i get another error saying it was unable to load my profile. I close that and reopen Firefox. Now it loads pages normally again but but only for 1 or 2 minutes and not any more after that. I repeat the whole process and i still get the same results until i restart my computer.
I have checked for any viruses and i have none at all and there is absolutely no problem with my overall connection since no other programs have this problems only Firefox. What can i do?
Thank you.
Edit: Im having the issue right now and I just checked but seems like some tabs work and some dont so i really dont get it.

Thanks for your help guys. Okay here is a little update on this issue. I am still having it but I figured out a workaround after reading all your advises. Whenever this happens I just copy all the files on my current profile onto the folder of a different profile and restart firefox with that rpofile. Now I can browse normally with all my settings and data as usual.
Thank you.

Hi supercain2, since the new profile works, you may want to try migrating some more of your old settings files into it, for example, saved passwords if you use that feature. With extensions it is best to reinstall from the source rather than try to copy over. This article lists some specific files you might want to copy/paste:

Check your settings just to be sure.
I havent tried the reset option yet because I read it would require to remove my browser data. So thats like my last resort.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.

To add to the discovery that this does not happen in a new profile, does moving the old data to the new profile solve this issue?

A nice workaround. Leave one of the bad profiles for experiments. Also, keep track on how offend you have to do this.
