On my school network, firefox doesn't load anything. But chrome will load fine.

On chrome, there's a pop-up for you to sign in with your username and password. Nothing will load until you do this.

On firefox, it won't load and the pop-up doesn't seem work. Both chrome and firefox work fine on normal networks.

Thanks for your help :)
