I have updated Firefox on laptop Windows 7 and desktop Windows 8.1 and now I can’t get into my banks. The website comes up and puts in my user name and passwords but nothing happens when I hit open. I went onto your support page but there are over 3900 answers that come up. I did follow directions for enabling cookies, clearing history, clearing all cookies etc. but it did not work. Can you help me?

Sorry, you are right. I do have NoScript. How do I check what it blocks. Should I just disable it?

To disable it (for now) would be best - just to see if that will make a difference.

I don't have the extensions you mentioned. Just the ones that I listed.

You mention NoScript as one of your extensions .....

Would you please read my post(s) again  ?

Thank you so much! I thought that extension was one that I should have but it caused all the trouble on all my websites. Thanks again to everyone that tried to help me with this. Much appreciated.

I was just about to advice to remove NoScript, as I found out that the reviews have been poor lately (to say the least).

'Sure am glad that you found out yourself - good for you to get rid of that pain in the derrière  !

Well, NoScript strikes again. That Extension is only worthy for 'experienced' Scripters. It probably shouldn't be downloaded by the average FF user. No wonder the Bank said to have 'JavaScript'! It was OFF or key parts of JS was off!

Should there be a stern warning for the average FF user in DL'ing and using NoScript?. I had this Extension briefly, long ago, and turned out to be more of a headache overall. One has to be a student of JavaScript and site functions to use it. (4 Years of NoScript College.) (Grin)

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials is another iffy Extension, but nothing like the King of Frustration: NoScript!
