Quick fix for PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR on Firefox

Recently I started getting PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR, when connecting to different sites such as Reddit or NordVPN.

After some debugging, it seems to be some DNS issues, caused by Virgin Media, my internet provider. It seems related to some Online Safety settings in your Virgin Media account, but I had trouble adjusting it. Changing the DNS settings turned out to be easier.

To fix it, change your DNS settings to either Cloudflare's or Google's.

Cloudflare DNS settings

1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1	

IPv6

2606:4700:4700::1111
2606:4700:4700::1001

Google DNS settings

IPv4

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

IPv6

2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844
