Can't connect to any sites using Firefox for Android

I've noticed that starting yesterday that Firefox for Android times out whenever I try to access any website with it. I've only been able to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling it but after I connect with Firefox Sync it fails to be able to connect to any site and everything times out.

I'm not sure what is causing this, I don't see any add-ons enabled under Firefox but perhaps Firefox Sync is automatically enabling something that is breaking the browser. Any further trouble shooting steps to diagnose would be welcome. I'm having an existential crisis using Chrome.

Update: I can confirm this happens w/o logging into Sync. For some reason Firefox for Android just starts giving The connection has timed out after being installed for a period of time. I'm running Android version 11 and have ample ram and storage space on the phone.

Hi

I am sorry to hear this, hopefully we can establish what is happening.

Are any other apps on your device connecting to the internet without any problems? Is the Google Play store updating apps on your device?
