FireFox

Anyone else experiencing issues today?

It's a weird one because pages will sort of load, except not properly. Examples - 

YouTube loaded. I can open videos but they stall when I go to play them - nothing plays.
Garmin Connect loads, I click to login but then get a total white page.
eBay loaded. I was able to do a search & bring up results but when I open any ad it loads a total mess. 
Speedtest.net loads fine but when I hit Go I get some error message.

Chrome loads everything just fine.

And yes I'm running the latest version. 
And yesterday worked fine.

    Issues with profile based browsers are usually caused by extensions or the profile.

    Start Firefox in Safe/Troubleshooting mode.  This disables the extensions.  If the issue goes away your problem is being caused by an extension.

    If the issue continues without extensions the problem may be a corrupt profile.

    YT was having issues today, videos kept stopping like it was buffering but the internet was fine. It sorted itself out though.
    I use Brave for YT.

    I assume Brave is an anti-ad thing? 

    Not sure of my extension. uBlock origin I think. Some blocker that got heavy recommendation anyway.

    Anyway since most people don't bother updating on their problems on forums and I like to go against the grain...

    FireFox seems to be working now. Maybe was just having a lazy Sunday.
