Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hi,

Please also try this: https://www.paypal.com/

If the problem persists, you can also consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.

(To revert to the previous profile you were using, close the new profile (i.e. exit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the Default User profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers), or the former profile, as the case may be). If the reset is okay, it would be a good idea to delete the old profile as otherwise it would be left intact with the previous data until deleted.

Note that a "Reset" creates a new profile and tries to import some settings from the old profile leaving the old profile intact, including the cache folder (about:cache) that can take up to 1 GB.

You may want to remove profiles that you aren't using anymore if you've used reset more than once to free up no longer used disk space occupied by those profile folders.
The new folders created by a reset have a time stamp in Unix epoch appended.
The original default profile folder only has a xxxxxxxx.default name.
