Firefox doesn't show title or menu bar in Bank of America online banking session.
After having cleared my browser cache, I go to the Bank of America login page and Firefox always pulls up that page without problem. I enter my username and password and get to the Accounts Overview page and Firefox always pulls up that page without problem. I then go to Bill Pay and it comes up correctly the first time. While I'm in the Bill Pay section of the website, everything works correctly. However, as soon as I go to any other section of the website, and come back to Bill Pay, neither the top banner bar nor the menu bar below it get displayed as shown in the attached screenshot until I again clear my browser cache. Internet Explorer 11 doesn't have this problem.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Ctrl+F5 will always restore the missing title and menu bars for at least the next couple of webpage loads and then they again drop off the browser page just like before. Safe Mode and switching to default theme had no effect (did not get rid of the problem). Unfortunately, Ctrl+F5 takes a very long time as I have a dial up internet connection. Could Firefox somehow be making an issue out of the speed of my internet connection? Web console did show something unusual and I have uploaded screenshots of the pages where the title and menu bars were present and absent. Could there possible be any settings in about:config that might get rid of this problem?
