Firefox sometimes does not load a page unless I open it in another tab or duplicate a tab

Greetings, this problem is a bit difficult to explain, here's what happens:

When I start Firefox, it sometimes just shows that the page is loading and it takes forever. If I open the same link in a new tab, it loads but when I try to refresh it in the first page, the page still does not load. It happens on every other tab (the first tab loads the page, the second - does not, then the third one loads again, etc). Sometimes it loads fine, sometimes I have to restart it. I can also fix loading when I duplicate a tab. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't This inconsistent behavior makes it difficult to describe the steps to reproduce the situation. I have: ghostery, adblock and umatrix, open image in a new tab and a tineye addons, that's all.

Hi, hold down the Shift key when you start Firefox to start in Safe Mode. More - Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

If it works in Safe Mode, disable any theme or extensions - 3-bar menu > Add-ons > Themes/Extensions and restart Firefox; then if it's OK, re-enable them one by one until you find the culprit. You may need to restart Firefox after enabling some extensions.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
