Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems. "Clear the Cache": 

   Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems: 

   Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

"Tools > Options > Advanced" is very outdated and was used a long time ago and then only on the Windows platform.

This would now be:

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).

"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:

  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"

"Clear the Cache":

  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> [X] Cached Web Content -> Clear
