this month I started having issues logging in to my pharmacy and my bank using firefox on my desktop computer. I get stuck in a Scanning By Zero Phishing loop. Ultimately I am forced to use Microsoft Edge to access these 2 accounts. My bank actually apologized for interrupting my login saying something about my login made the bank think I am a bot.

Oddly enough I have 2 laptops, mine and my sister's, that do not have this issue.

Obviously I have identified my desktop computer as the problem but I have no clue how to fix it.

Steps I have taken so far: clearing browser cache and logging into windows safe mode and clearing the temp and prefetch folders. I have had intermittent login issues in the past and these steps USED TO WORK but not anymore.

Some web sites such as Amazon have an options bars to select items like 'review order'. When the web page first comes up, they show white in the dark bar. But Firefox is immediately changing the white to purple so that it is almost impossible to read. I haven't been able to find anything in settings to correct this. I do not have this issue when I use Chrome.

Facebook page fails to fully load often (not always) and in some occasions it load partially -instead of a picture it shows a blank box with a description of what it is supposed to be on the box.

Using other browser (Edge for example) loads the page fine in the affected Laptop and loading on an IPad using Firefox works fine too.

I have "flushed" the WI-Fi and "requested" a new IP for this computer and it is hard to tell if this solves the problem temporary or it is just the on-off nature of the problem.

In other occasions the page appears to load ok but the pull down menu (like notifications) are "blank" or it just appears to be loading and never navigate to the requested page.

In the sample below (image) is similar to the issue although in this case the page loaded after a few seconds. Note the missing information.

Are their any plans anyone knows off to create a version of Firefox that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories.

The current one won't work with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using their online editor - https://bbmo.singularsound.com/ - which forces me to use another browser for that...

Hi, It happened just days ago. The NY times does not let me read articles and tells me I am a bot not a human (I am a subscriber) or that someone is using my IP. I tried everything, clearing cache and data for everything, signed in again to no avail. I tried using a VPN to mask the IP... no success I have no problem reading it on Chrome, but I prefer Firefox. Does anyone have more ideas? The agent from NY times I contacted really was no help at all. Thanks

Reoccuring problem with Firefox and Apple / iCloud accounts

I have been having a reoccuring problem signing into Apple / icloud accounts. Basically, it won't let me login even though the password is correct. There are several ways to fix the problem, you have to try each one since there is no consistent way to fix it.

1. Sign in using appleid.apple.com instead of icloud, which seems to work better.. 2. Clear site data for apple.com and icloud.com, which sometimes work. 3. Clear all browsing data, if the previous step doesn't work. 4. Create a new profile if the previous step doesn't work.

The problem is that the problem comes right back in the next login. No fix seems to last more than a few days. It's not an extension issue since the problem occurs even with extensions. It's not using standard tracking and ublock if enable is off for the apple domains.

Anyone has an idea what is causing this? There are no issue signing in using chromium based browsers. The issue has been around for a year now.

I'm unable to type in "Notes" for specific transactions on my Credit Union's web site. It used to work fine until several months ago. The entire Credit Union web site won't allow me to add info or type in a box provided by them for such purposes as it did. I have to use the Safari browser (which I hate using) to do so. HELP!!
