Sounds like a add-on is causing the issue. A full browser screenshot would be helpful. see screenshot In private browsing, the add-ons should be disabled unless they are allowed to run in private mode. see screenshot

jonzn4SUSE: two screenshots attached. First is shot of what I get when I try to access outlook live email from my firefox home page and second is what I get when I use private browsing. How would I determine if an add-on is causing the problem? And which add-on?

Disable 1 by 1 until it works.

I only have 2 add-ons: duck duck go privacy essentials and web root web threat shield. Disabling each does not solve the problem. Screenshot attached.

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

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox
• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache

If clearing cookies doesn't help, it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder that stores the cookies got corrupted.

• rename/remove cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and when present delete cookies.sqlite-shm and cookies.sqlite-wal in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

  Windows: Open Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder
