I have noticed over the past year that some shopping sites no longer allow me to complete my purchase (landsend.com, garnethill.com) or login (theguardian.com/us) to name a few. In the past I have called their customer service and completed my purchase by phone or I have had to use the Edge browser. This is an annoying work around and defeats using Firefox as my default browser. I just disabled the HTTPS scanning in my (AVG) antivirus software and was hoping that may resolve the issue but I still cannot log into my accounts on the 2 I just tried. Am I going to have to change my browser use?

Unless there is a firefox error reporting it will be hard to know why those sites are like that. Also some sites have preferences as to which browser one has to use to access their site. So unless another users of those sites can replicate the problem this is up to those sites to answer why Firefox can't access their site. I would also say try another browser like Edge or Chrome or Safari depending on the OS to know which works.
