Microsoft account page working. When I go to my Out Look mail account it crashes every time. When I go to login from the Outlook login page it crashes. EBAY not allowing me to buy selected items. Goes into an endless loop. Both of these account work properly in Safari. This is the first time that I have had problems with Firefox. Bank of America is telling me that their site does not like Firefox
