I just performed a Software Update where Firefox was updated to version 70.0. Now various web sites don't load correctly... like Credit Karma
and Netflix
. Amongst other problems, clicking links on pages doesn't take you to the desired web page location.
If I open a private window, and visit those same two web sites, it all seems to work again.
I've tried starting in safe mode, where all of my add-ons were disabled, but with no improvement.
I've tried disabling these sites from the new "blocking social media trackers" feature, but with no improvement.
Anybody else having Firefox 70.0 problems, and seen this problem? Is there a fix/workaround?
Update #1:
Selecting a different user profile also fixes the problem. I'm working on which particular item is causing the problem.
Update #2:
pending possible fix...
- in Firefox, go to
about:profiles
- note which profile is the current, in use profile
- for the
Root Directory
click theOpen Directory
button - quit Firefox
- move the
storage
andfolders out to another locationweave
- restart Firefox, it'll rebuild these two folders
- try the web site that was giving you problems and see if it's working now
quit Firefox- move the newly created
storage
andweave
folders to the trash - move the original
storage
andweave
folders back to their original location - restart Firefox
- confirm that the problem web site still works
Update #3:
Updated procedure documented in my answer, shown below.
about:profiles
to see if you have been shifted to a 'vanilla' profile...
