Since updating Firefox, my regular websites keep reloading endlessly whenever I log out of them. Any suggestions how I can stop this happening?

Thanks for your suggestion, but I realised the issue was to do with LastPass, which I updated recently also. That was automatically logging me into sites. I've been able to stop it now.
