For the last 6-8 months, I cannot check out (make a purchase) using Paypal on my Windows 10 computer using Firefox. Paypal works fine with Explorer. But Firefox, which I prefer for all other purposes, just goes into an endless spiral if I click on "check out with Paypal". For all and any online vendors.
