Firefox (pc) stops loading websites at random times, sometimes fixed by waiting a long time but usually by restarting the browser

like the title says, usually at least once a day firefox will just stop loading web pages entirely. more specifically, it gets stuck loading any page infinitely. occasionally if i wait long enough things will start loading again, but usually that time never comes and i have to restart the browser. i'm kind of a tab hoarder so restarting the browser can be annoying in itself, since i have to wait for the browser to load. i'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this with extensions and the like since i haven't noticed any trend in when the problem occurs. weirdly enough, it happened while i was typing this and while every other website fails to load, the mozilla support site is consistently fine. any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
