Even before I had much of the Internet ban me because I was playing with a bot, my FF profile on Linux was giving me a lot of trouble. About 6 months ago a lot of web sites barely functioned for me. I can't log in to E-trade. Home Depot and Lowes search doesn't work for me.

If I open a brand new FF profile, some of these sites do work. But I guess the combination of FF, on Linux, with my addons is triggering something.

These days, when I think I've got a Firefox issue and try switching to chrome the usual outcome is that I discover the website was broken and Chrome doesn't work either.

I can't remember the last time I had to open chromium. Everything works fine with FF for me. Couldn't be happier about it

Possibly, I use Firefox on Linux. I am in the UK so maybe British sites are better? Maybe just luck or usage patterns. Very likely the addons.
