It could be the web site changed it's setup. Log in to the main page. Then work your way to what you want. Then create new shortcuts.
The web browser has not been changed. I can access this from another device on the same address. Today when I tried to access Sky Sport from my short cut bar I get yesterdays page. when I go to chrome I get today's page. The has happened before and I deleted all the shortcuts from the bar and imported them again from Chrome. The worked. I seem to have a problem. I don't have many addons so don't know what to do. I like Firefox I like the use of the addons, in fact I like everything about Fire \fox. I am 70 years old but am not an old person and get involved with my laptop. Now I need help.
Do you have any blocking add-ons / programs?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that helps.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
