Worked until last update. Can connect to website. After entering password crawler in bottom left of screen passes through" security" then stops at "waiting for banking". Browser works on all other websites I have tried. Bank says they don't know what is causing error but other customers have reported same problem. Other browsers connect

Are you blocking content?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I can connect with browser in "Safe mode". I am not blocking any content except the default "dangerous and deceptive software"

If you have any 'bad' software, you should remove it.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

I can connect with browser in "Safe mode".

It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.

If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.

Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.
