Charles Schwab website won't load

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.
