Sometimes when Firefox updates I lose access to some websites then I have to go in and change password to to get in one of these websites is my banking account. I can use another browser use the same password that I use on fire fox and it works just fine so it is not on my end or the sites end it is Firefox. I am now running two browsers so the vital sites are not effected by Firefox upgrades . I have been running Firefox for a long time and would hate to switch but I will to keep from having to run two browsers. What can I do can you take out a update. I am running windows 10 it is up to date .

Thanks for your time and help

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
