Lately out of nowhere I have been having an issue where many sites (I'm assuming ones that use google analytics) redirect me when I try to visit them, and all I get is a blank page that just loads forever and says "waiting for www.google-analytics.com And no matter how many times I refresh or click back, it just takes me to the same blank page that won't load.
It seems to be an issue with firefox because chrome and IE seem to be unaffected, but nothing changed in my firefox the day the issue started appearing, I didn't download and new add-ons and none of my current ones updated.

This only started a couple days ago out of nowhere, and I can't seem to find any causes for it on my end.
