Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer. lnguyen1587 said

Firefox logs you off a site on it's own? It should not do that.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

I assume the main site is pge.com or www.pge.com. Is the data usage on another server under pge.com like usage.pge.com or a completely different server like mydata.com?
