When I try to login to my bank website it requires that they send me a security code and then register the device. If I use Firefox it asks me to do this every time I try to login. With Chrome, or Internet Explorer, or MS Edge the bank only asked the first time then those browsers work fine. Only Firefox doesn't work??
