Re: Firefox not connecting to websites after update?
have you rebooted the desktop?
try Ctl-Alt-Backspace
also so others can benefit from knowing what system you have,
please open Terminal and enter
and post the results back here inside the code marks </> after you click on that logo above the editor

Hello, gto52.
Seems that you have missed the relevant thread, Firefox 60.0 and Firejail.
If I understand the thread right, in particular pages 2 & 3, then updating Firejail to version 0.9.54 should solve the issue with Firefox 60.
[added]
On page 2 of the same thread a workaround for older Firejail versions is mentioned. Worth a try.
old firejail workround
HTH,

Re: Firefox not connecting to websites after update?
I had the same issue so I removed Firejail. To remove it:
I'm just going to give up on Firejail for now. In the past, I also had an issue with my sound. Pjotr had a thread on this, and I tried to install the latest version of Firejail, but it would not install. Said I did not have root privileges. So the easiest solution is to remove firejail.

sudo apt-get purge firejail

Re: Firefox not connecting to websites after update?
I tried the Firejail fixes, and as I mentioned, I ended up with a mess, and Timeshifted back to before Firejail.
I won't ever try it again.

Re: Firefox not connecting to websites after update?
I had the same problem yesterday. I uninstalled Firejail but that did nothing. I had to turn off hardware acceleration, then it worked.
