For some reason I can only access some sites by using private window. Why is that?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Smells like an add-on issue. Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode?

I ass-u-me in Private mode you have no add-ons which is why it works.

Not sure what you need. The sites in question, today, are bluemountain.com and dropbox.com. However, I had this problem a couple of days ago with another site but don't remember which. As you can see on the screenshot, the sign in just hangs there... However, when I go into private window, there is no problem. Thanks for any suggestions that you might be able to give me. claire
