Yesterday morning, Firefox was able to connect to the Schwab website, but later in the day, it wasn’t able to connect and still is unable to connect. When I open Firefox, the tab for Schwab normally shows a website page name for Schwab (i.e. Finance . . .) . . . now, it only shows the first and last three characters of the URL (htt . . . ome). When I click on the Schwab tab, the correct URL is shown, but the screen below the URL is all white. Doing a right click on “Reload Tab” doesn’t do anything. There are no error messages.

When I open Google Chrome, I have no problem connecting to the Schwab website. On my laptop, I also have no problem connecting to the Schwab website with either Firefox or Google Chrome. This would appear to be a problem with Firefox on my Desktop PC.

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.
