Firefox is crashing when I'm working at Wells Fargo online on my accounts?

When I try to change categories within my Wells Fargo online account it will instead jump out to a window that says your session has expired. I have to re-sign in over and over again. My contact down at Wells Fargo told me that Firefox was having small problems with Wells Fargo. I don't know what that means.

That's b.s. It's not a cookies issue, it's a Firefox sucks issue. This never happens on Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Opera, so explain why only Firefox has the issue if Firefox doesn't suck. Not being able to do mobile banking is a huge issue.

Hi acsmith1972

Could you please start a new thread for your question?

Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.

In case of crashes also please add some recent crash IDs that you can find on the about:crashes page and that start with a "bp-" prefix

If a line on the about:crashes page doesn't start with "bp-" then click the line to submit the report and the link will be updated and gets a "bp-" prefix if the report is submitted successfully (do not add it yourself).
