--- Comment #1 from Alex Henrie  ---
I can confirm this bug. Strangely, Firefox worked fine when it opened for the
first time after the installer finished, but it stopped working after closing
it and reopening it from the Programs menu. Changing the Windows version to XP
got Firefox to load web pages again. I think the problem has to do with
Firefox's new multiprocess architecture ("Electrolysis").

I can confirm this issue with Alex. FF, Flash will only work in Wine XP mode.
Please fix.

Had to change this line in user.prefs from true to false for Firefox 54 since
e10s is now the default (for users without add-ons anyway, and on Win7):

user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2", false);

Not a huge deal to not have e10s working in WINE but it would be preferable to
have it work out of the box.

With Firefox 52.7.2esr (the current Extended Support Release) I found that
setting browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2=false did not solve the issue for me. 
Firefox still printed "WARNING: Failed to launch tab subprocess" and tabs were
empty.  Setting security.sandbox.content.level=0 (which came up in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1385928) worked.

With firefox 66.0.2 (win32) I can't load http://example.com or
http://neverssl.com, even in WinXP mode (set after install, since they no
longer support XP according to
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/62.0/system-requirements/).

wine-4.5

For the info, firefox starts and works perfectly fine out of the box when using
Staging + Fabian`s patch from 
https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=64059&action=diff applied on top of
that

tested Version 65.0.2. 64 bit. Maybe this also helps for the version of this
bugreport firefox 51.0.1, needs testing.
