most pages will not load. I have to click on the "stop loading this page" button and then click on the reload this page button to get it to work. This has to be done on most pages but a few work fine like www.google.com . I have tried it in the safe mode and have the same results so it is not an add on. I am currently running 23.0.1 I have not had this problem until i updated to this new version.

Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Thank you.

I have this problem a lot recently. The reset works, but it is a pain in the neck to lose all my settings. Isn't there anything else to try?
