Not every page, but it's been doing this on Twitter for a few days, and Google as of today. I'm running it in Safe Mode in this screen and getting this.

You can check the network.http.* prefs on the about:config page and reset all bold user set network.http prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu -> Reset.

Check at least:

  • network.http.proxy.keep-alive should be true
  • network.http.accept-encoding: gzip,deflate

network.http.accept-encoding was blank, 3 others were bold, but I can't remember exactly which ones or their values. I'm certain of the network.http.accept-encoding being blank though, because it flipped back for some reason. Reset to default again and it's behaving for now, running some virus and spyware/malware scans.
