I also have same problem with the Firefox. when I started Firefox it hangs and machine also responding slow. That kind of issues come because of some file is getting corrupted. Try to upgrade the Mozilla Firefox and see if your problem is solved. Uninstall Firefox and remove all temporary contain , clean registry, remove all contain related to Firefox and further install Firefox and restart computer. Further you are not connecting to website then check this website is not blocked in Firefox. If you are able to able to use this website than problem is further with Firefox. Are you using any kind of Firewall or Web security applications on the computer? If yes then it could be the reason behind this error. Many Firewalls and Web security applications block certain application from accessing internet. The blocked applications are generally not listed in the Web security applications trustworthy vendors, hence we have to add the applications which we use to unblock them. You can disable the entire firewall to access internet by using Firefox or You can add Firefox to the list of allowed applications so that the firewall will not block it again. And your Firefox is connecting to any website.
