Mozilla limits my access to a site randomly. If I go to the site in IE and come back to Mozilla, it will then allow me access. What security setting controls?

I would assume a problem with your security software with symptoms like this.

It is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
