</p><p>Yep, I cleared cookies for Ancestry several times however that doesn't seem to eliminate the error message.
</p><p>I am wondering if there might be a problem at Ancestry and how they interface with Firefox?
</p><p>Sty tuned and thanks for your help!
</p>Do either of these make any difference:

</p><p><strong>Cache and Cookies:</strong> When you have a problem with one particular site that previously worked normally, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
</p><p>(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
</p><p>See: <a href="/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache" rel="nofollow">How to clear the Firefox cache</a> -- note: only clear Cached Web Content, not all of your Cookies and Site Data
</p><p>If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
</p><p>(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, click the lock icon at the left end of the address bar. After a moment, a "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button should appear at the bottom. Go ahead and click that.
</p><p>In the dialog that opens, you will see one or more matches to the current address so you can remove the site's cookies individually without affecting other sites.
</p><p>Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
