Hi, other browsers are fine- Firefox used to be until the last couple of updates.

Now when I try to access swagbucks.com FF freezes when trying to access ad or statistics sites when opening a page. This is utterly consistent.

I've tried to upload a small screenshot showing FF hanging on app2-cdn2.sbx-cdn.com

but the upload idler just span and didn't complete, so no idea if that's there.

Waterfox (FF derivative) has no problem wiht the same site, neither do Edge, Chrome or IE. I suspect some new feature in FF may be intervening... Tried FF in its Safe Mode too.

Haven't tried going back to an earlier build as you've now warnings about data loss. Win 10 Pro x64 1809 latest.

Thanks.

I found it's related to permissions.sqlite in the profile folder.

As swagbucks.com could be accessed from a new test profile, I identified this by a process of elimination, and copied this file from the new profile to my default profile.

I have no idea what FF settings that might relate to. Could you advise please? Thanks
