Hi, I love Firefox and have been using it. But since today I cannot even log in to paypal.com. Gives a security verification error. New window doesn't help either. What gives? I have to switch to Chrome now? IE11 no problem. Lucky for me, because I had to transfer funds from paypal to my bank.

Like everyone else (almost), heavily overdoing everything. To the point of the extreme actually.

Not a good feature! best regards, John
