Since firefox 26 downloaded I can't access email. It opens a new version of my home page (comcast.net) and says I need to enter password.It's an endless circle

I use the comcast webmail. When I log onto my comcast homepage and try to go to email it just opens another comcast homepage and says I need to log in. If I do that and click on email it does the same thing over and over again. All of my other computers are still on firefox 25 and none of them have this problem. It's a pretty new computer.
