Can't log in to Westpac bank in Firefox - 18 September 2014
In the past two days I have tried to log in to my Westpac Bank Account in Firefox and when I press the "sign in" link - all that comes up is a page of code.
I have checked the site in Explorer and I can access the page as usual in IE. It is not a bank problem either as I have contacted the bank and it is only my computer doing this.
This has only begun to happen as far as I know, in the last couple of days. Prior to that I could access the page. To my knowledge I have not changed any settings and the updates in Firefox are all current.
I am fairly computer illiterate so if there is any suggestions as what to do to resolve this, please guide me through it in very clear step by step instructions.
Thankyou
