Firefox seems to have closed the door on many of my regular sites -- bank, GoDaddy, Mailchimp, etc. they used to work fine with Firefox but now i have to switch to explorer to get them to work. What happened?

What version of Firefox are you using ?

What are the pages doing , can you provide a Screen Capture?


Then check to see if your Plugins are up to date

[[Plugin Check|https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]]

Then Check to see if you have java script blocking them.

Also have you tried to Empty your Cache and Cookies.

Are that all secure (https) connection that fail?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
