I'm told this is a "cache" problem. It's preventing me from signing into my Web site Editing site.

-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes)

Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

-> click the Firefox button, go to History menu and click Clear Recent History... -> Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING" -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on Cookies, Cache -> click Clear Now

-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

-> Search for faulty extensions

  https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes 

-> Also check for "Corrupt extension files"

Check and tell if its working.
