After all these years I am giving up on Firefox and discontinuing my donation to Mozilla. Last year or so I have faced so many unsolvable heads. The latest is that every time I open Verizon (or refresh it) I not only asks me to sign in but asks the security question....sometimes 5 times in the same hour. I've clicked of the double security on the Verizon page. (but it's been turned off for a long time anyway). The point is there is absolutely not one person or place to turn to for help. So goodby Firefox, it's been fun.
