If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Answer 1

This error log related to parachute is kind of a funny warning given by the developers saying that "system is going to break and I'm going to use my parachute". This means that your application is having a memory leak and JVM will go OOM soon. You need to profile your application and see what is causing this issue.
