Disable McAfee temporarily by clicking on the McAfee icon in the menu bar and selecting "Pause Protection" or "Turn Off". Clear Firefox cache and cookies by selecting "Clear Data" in the "Privacy & Security" settings. Reset Firefox settings to their default state by selecting "Refresh Firefox" in the troubleshooting information.
