Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems. "Clear the Cache":

"Tools > Options > Advanced" is very outdated and was used a long time ago and then only on the Windows platform.
This would now be:
Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).
"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"
"Clear the Cache":
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> [X] Cached Web Content -> Clear
