I have downloaded Windscribe to my firefox which is an VPN of some description. It's been working fine until yesterday, now i cannot access firefox at all. I have deleted it and reinstalled it and still the "authentication required" pop up block all access on firefox. Nothing is working and Im now having to use safari as firefox is completely blocked!

Please help!

Would it be possible for you to provide a screenshot of this 'Authentication Required' pop-up  ?

You might be able to stop the prompt from reappearing by pressing the Esc key several times in quick succession.
