Unable to open google search or facebook
To make it short - I have the latest FF & Chrome version installed.
Everything was fine until yesterday evening, suddenly when Facebook stopped opening up on FF, thought it was their usual downtime thing & tried to open the site after 4-5 hrs, still same issue - I get an blank page.
*I use FB for work purposes only.
Thought of googling if I was the only one having an issue - google.com would open but the search wouldn't show up - its also giving an blank page.
Thought probably.. FF screwed up something - so used Chrome - for FB same prob but at least google showed up results.
Tried hard refresh, scanned the entire system via Bitdefender, malwarebytes, sfc scannow, used CCcleaner - no change.
But I had seamonkey (which uses FF 54.0.3 if I remember correctly for development), so thought of giving it an try - bingo, FB opens, so does google. After finishing my work, restarted my lappy - after restart - everything seemed to work normal.. Thought, glad at least restart fixed..
went to bed, kept lappy in sleep mode, now when I am back - same old problem repeating - SeaMonkey working like an charm..
I'm not sure what to make out of it, if it was an Firewall or IP issue - Seamonkey shouldn't open these 2 sites either (rest of the sites are loading fine). I tried disabling addons too still no change. Tried VPN, no change.
Can someone point me, what else I could look into, if it was only FF - I thought of approaching FF support forums but the prob is also on Chrome as well - both actually have 2 different FB accounts, my FB accounts aren't locked either - as I can open them without an issue in Sea Monkey,.
