Can not open the page with firefox anymore

[Ethiopia]

@frank22, I always have Process Explorer running so that I can see what's happening. Between that and TinyWall firewall, I'm confident that nothing will sneak by me.

Then about 10 minutes ago I tried starting my VPN which gave me internet access. Turned VPN off, re-start, and now everything back to normal.

VPNs have this "Kill Switch" feature which blocks all external network traffic when connection to the VPN server is lost, to prevent your actual IP address from being exposed. Check if this is enabled in whatever VPN you're using. I've faced similar issue which gets resolved after re-starting the VPN.

I kill it in processes after I use it as it lingers in the background.

I think it happened because the VPN process didn't shut down correctly and the "Kill switch" remained enabled, which also explains why other devices had internet access. That's my guess.

Do you see any errors in Firefox or just a blank webpage? If it's just an empty page try taking a look at the source code (right click in the page and select View Page Source). Is there html code, or not?

I've had this issues for a month or so. How I deal with it, is to turn off my adblocker and then put back on - once the site loads up.

Just blank white internet page. it stops loading.

Did you try private browsing or troubleshoot mode?

I've also occasionally had the white page but I've noticed that in the tab it'll say "Just a moment".
This would either be the site itself, or cloudFlare getting stuck on something.

If you are using a custom theme try setting the theme back to auto.
I've experienced weird issues with themes in the past.

@hansiwansi Like I said before, check the source code to see the server's response. No response usually triggers Firefox's own error screen. Other than that, try disabling extensions or reinstalling Firefox.
