Hi Laurie,

Generally, it indicates the loading process. Not sure why your website might have ended up in an endless loading loop, but:

  1. You can stop loading by clicking the cross in your address bar. That should remove the blue ball.
  2. Could you please share a URL of that website?

Oh, it requires an account... I guess I won't be able to test then, but here are some standard troubleshooting steps that may help:

  1. Please check if you have Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) enabled. You can do that by clicking the shield Fx89ShieldIcon icon at the left of the address bar.
    • If ETP is enabled, try disabling it.
  2. If the problem is not fixed, try clearing Firefox cache.
  3. If it does not help, also try clearing cookies and data for the website you experience troubles with (warning: you will be logged out on this website).
  4. If it also does not help, try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. If the problem doesn't persist, please follow the steps from this article to troubleshoot further.
