Just read this[^] that purports to know how to kill Cortana on Windows 10 Anniversary Edition.
May be useful to some.

Some of us are luckier than others - I am a Brit, living in Cyprus, and they don't yet have a version for Cyprus, so not installed. 
However, the page has been bookmarked for future use, thanks very much.
As a footnote, the Cypriot dialect is considerably different from that of mainland Greece*. With a population of under a million, they may not bother.
* It has been reported that some time ago when the Cyprus president, with a very rural accent, met the Greek president, with a strong Cretan accent, a translator was required.

All I know about Cyprus (besides a few people from there), is that Georgiou Panayiatou (spelling?) is from there and as George Michael the Poms made him famous.

fyi: I upgraded to Win 10 Pro a few weeks ago, and I tried the Group Policy edit technique described in the link you cite, and it just didn't work: Cortana appeared in the Task Manager no matter what, and killing the process from the Task Manager banished it for only a few seconds.
I've also tried using WinAero Tweaker to turn off Cortana, but that hasn't worked either.
What did work was an earlier technique published on WinAero: [^]. If you use this technique, I strongly suggest you think carefully about the warning provided in red on this page.

We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

"For most users, this means that Cortana will be removed from Windows 10 permanently. Think twice before you will continue."
The missus has trained me well; I take out the rubbish (Leftpond: "garbage") autonomically, so I don't even have to think once.

Is there an opinion expressed there ?
Sergey Tkachenko's, "labor of love," web-site, WinAero, is probably the most technically sound, most currently informed, of any web-site reporting on Win10 glitches, internals, work-arounds, etc. He has not, like Thurrot and others, been co-opted by MS ... yet.
While I am aware you frequently dump your personal rubbish on the Lounge, I suggest you not cast aspersions on the work of other people who are making real contributions to the state of knowledge.

WTF?
I have WinAero installed on all my post-weven machines, and will continue to install it on new machines.
I suggest you focus less on jerking your knees, and more on reading what people actually say.

Looking at the source code they are working with the registry keys involved.
Adding and removing full access permmisions.

Yes, even if the Group Policy setting technique works for you on Win Pro, registry settings will be changed. Any setting you alter by any means is going to change the Registry.

Hm, another interesting thing is it appears they are mounting the install.wim file.
I have not looked at the Win 10 OPK so not fully sure what they are doing here. Perhaps just getting a list of packages.

Does it work in another browser on the same PC? If not, it sounds like a DNS issue. Try nslookup www.site.com from a command-prompt.
If it works in another browser, does it work in safe mode[^] in Firefox? If so, it's probably an add-on.
If it doesn't work in safe mode, does it work in a new Firefox profile[^]? If so, you could try deleting any cookies associated with that site.
If that doesn't solve it, then you'll have to define "not working".
