Thank you! Thank you! I cleared the cache and removed Cookies, and no difference. However, after I started Firefox in Safe Mode and disabled Add-ons, I no longer get the message and can send e-mails. Thanks again!

You're welcome.


If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
