Commonwealth Bank Australia NetBank Bills & upcoming payments page does not load
When using Firefox to access the Commonwealth Banks online portal, Netbank, the Bills & upcoming payments page will not load. I found this discussion about it - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1753352 - a discussion that is now 2 years old and the solution is to disable fission.autostart. It seems crazy that this issue has not otherwise been solved. It seems users have to disable an important firefox security setting in order to get functionality. What are the dangers of disabling fission? And is there a better solution to this problem yet?
Thanks

You can check for issues with Total Cookie Protection.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
Hi Cor-El - thankyou for your detailed reply.
"I can access https://www.my.commbank.com.au/ and get a login page" - yes so can I, that's not the problem.
I have made sure there are no web content blockers active for that site, and do not have a purple shield showing. I have cleared the cache and cookies. I have tried troubleshooting mode. None of this works. The problem seems to be the fission.autostart
