An unknown error occurred.

A few days ago burp will no longer allow my Firefox browser to load any pages. When I run ANYTHING through Burp, I get "An unknown error occurred.". I've tried clearing the cache. Firefox works fine when not using the proxy.

Hi Erik, Are you able to provide us with some additional information: - What version of Burp are you currently running? - Are you running the installed version of Burp or the standalone Jar file - If you are running one of the later versions of Burp, what happens if you try to browse to sites using the embedded browser (initiated from Proxy -> Intercept -> Open Browser)

- The embedded browser displays the same error. - I use 2021.2 - It's the installed version, not the standalone java version.
