When i am in firefox and try and go into pinterest it automatically takes me from my page and switches over to the category page. I have tried halting it to log out of pinterest, and have then logged in again but it keep reverting to the category page and therefore not allowing me to see any of my feed or saved items......

Hi,

If you use extensions that can block (wanted ) content, like Adblock Plus, NoScript, Ghostery, uBlock Origin - always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.

Also : make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version.

If the above isn't the problem, then you can try these steps in case of issues with web pages :

Reload the page : Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button or press 'Ctrl + F5' or press 'Ctrl + Shift + R'

Another thing to try : Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

Clear the Cache:

3-bar menu => Options => Privacy & Security => Cached Web Content :
"Clear Now"

Remove Cookies from sites causing problems:

3-bar menu => Options => Privacy & Security => under 'History' : choose 'Use custom settings for history' => "Show Cookies"

Any improvement  ?
