Works fine for me also on the latest Nightly 46 and Firefox 43.0.2.

Reporter, could you please let us know if the issue is still reproducible while running Firefox in safe mode?

If yes, I strongly recommend you to Refresh your Firefox.

The issue resolved itself a few hours later.

Before posting I had tried I did try safe mode, resetting, removing and reinstalling, updating firefox as well as on another computer I use in a remote location that had the same behavior.  

The website was fine, getting traffic. It was only during a couple of hours after upgrading to this version did I have the issue.
