OK some websites like chillblast.com with whom I have an account - and have my username and password which being stored in saved passwords/logins. I can click on the link in chillblast.com to sign in from which the pop up shows my username and password already filled in but instead of the little hand that indicates the option to click the sign in button all I get is the normal mouse arrow cursor and the option to click is not even there.. I can log in with IE, Edge and Chrome but for some reason Firefox is blocking or preventing signing into some sites, not all but some. I have run firefox with plugins and addons disabled I have done this also in safemode and even started windows 10 in safemode networking.
