When trying to log into my Barclays Bank account with Samsung laptop (previously trouble free) I get: 'Bad request Your browser sent a query this server could not understand'. I'm able to access account with my Samsung phone app.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem,

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

While you are in Troubleshoot(Safe) mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Thanks Fred, deleting my browsing history and cookies solved the problem. I must be a bit more thorough with my regular maintenance, easy to forget. Ray
