Firefox windows randomly stops even trying to load anything

At seemingly random times Firefox will suddenly stop even attempting to load websites. I will be using it just fine and then all the sudden when I put a new address or search in the address bar and hit enter, it will do nothing. If I hit refresh it will do the refreshing animation for about 1/4 of a second and stop without loading anything. I usually keep multiple windows of Firefox open during the week and clear them on Friday and the problem happens on every one of them when it happens to one. It forces me to switch to Edge for about 10 minutes when the problem suddenly fixes itself and I can switch back to Firefox. This happens ever couple of hours and it's really getting to me but I have no clue why it's happening.

Any ideas?
