I once had a similar issue (but not fully the same), alas I forgot how I fixed it.
Some suggestions:
Percussive maintenance? ;-)
Hope you get it resolved.
You are a god. For mysterious reasons, having this IP in my hosts file breaks loading the page. Removing it from hosts restores access. I have no idea why Firefox would care about this because I'm not trying to access the page by name, but by IP address. My best guess is there's some sort of bug relating to handling of hosts file entries.
I found this answer, but I still don't understand what's going on and why this network.trr.exclude-etc-hosts might be useful.
Haha thanks :-)
I vaguely remembered an issue with a host file that firefox blocked instead of rerouted. Never did get to submit a bug report for it I think, hmm.
Glad I could help you resolve it.
