I tested with Nightly, no issue.

Could you test:
1) in safe mode
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

2) with a fresh profile:

It's working! medium.com is loaded!

Could you please tell me What should I do next to isolate the issue?

You can use the feature "Forget this website" to remove all data about medium.com:

NB: if you have a stored username/password for this website, it will be deleted too, so save it before using the feature.

In addition, remove the browser cache.

Thanks a lot Loic for your support. It is now working without doing any of this. 
Sorry if it was not clear, but I was more interested by helping investigate than solving my issue or finding a workaround. 

But since I didn't change anything from the last time (FF was updated to 46.0a2 (2016-02-22))I suppose the investigation is not needed anymore.

Thanks a log again!
