I am trying to use Rakuten when I shop. I am on the merchant site, then click on the Rakuten button for the cash back trip #. I am taken to the Rakuten site for the trip #, then it says I will be taken back to the merchant site to continue my shopping. However, I do not get taken back to the merchant site, I always get a page that says page not found. Someone told me to disable the firewalls. I am 71 and do not have a clue on how to do that or what. I need some help. I only use Mozilla Firefox and do not want to use any other browser.

You can check for issues with Total Cookie Protection.


You can try these steps in case of issues with webpages:

You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).

"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:

  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"

"Clear the Cache":

  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> [X] Cached Web Content -> Clear

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
