Can access and browse on Amazon.com, but can't add item to my wish list, or delete item either, or use cart. Those functions work fine in IE, and worked in Chrome which I used before switching to Firefox. Should I switch back to Chrome, or is there a compatibility issue with Firefox and Amazon? My Kaspersky puts sites like Amazon into a "proctected" browser window to protect my financial data, is there an issue with Kaspersky? Thanks
