this month I started having issues logging in to my pharmacy and my bank using firefox on my desktop computer. I get stuck in a Scanning By Zero Phishing loop. Ultimately I am forced to use Microsoft Edge to access these 2 accounts. My bank actually apologized for interrupting my login saying something about my login made the bank think I am a bot.

Oddly enough I have 2 laptops, mine and my sister's, that do not have this issue.

Obviously I have identified my desktop computer as the problem but I have no clue how to fix it.

Steps I have taken so far: clearing browser cache and logging into windows safe mode and clearing the temp and prefetch folders. I have had intermittent login issues in the past and these steps USED TO WORK but not anymore.
