unrequested blocks on many of the websites I use for my livelihood income. Why is this happening to me?
I am being denied access to some of the main websites I use for income. Exp. Savings Highway Global of which I have been a Platinum member for more than 3 years now. One day my sites were blocked with an explanation that the website had not been updated properly enough to accept the new changes and updates of the security compliance. This happens when i have been using the various websites for over 3 years with no problems. Can you please correct this issue today, being I was really anxious to try to catch up on my work lost due to this security connection issue.
Thank you in advance,

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection

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
