tumblr won't let me connect to my blog

I always used internet explorer, but it was blocking some options for certain websites, like tumblr. So I downloaded firefox, mainly to use tumblr. At first it was great, I didn't have a problem connection with my tumblr account the first time i went on the site, and I never disconnected after that. Everything was great and worked well, until this morning when i had to disconnect because i wanted to connect with another account. When i tried to connect my other account, it started the connection, but it came back to the connection page. I tried a few times more with my real account, and i always had the same problem, it's bringing me back to the connection page before the connection with my blog was completed. I tried with internet explorer (just to be sure I had the good password and the good email and all), and I'm able to connect and disconnect as I want, like before, but since I don't like explorer's tumblr, i'd really like being able to use tumblr with firefox again.

Can somebody help me please?

Did you try restarting Firefox?

Close Firefox, wait a few minutes, and then open Firefox again.

@the-edmeister Thank you for your answer, but no it doesn't worked. Do you think it would work if I uninstall firefox and re-install it? And if anyone got another suggestion before I tried that, it would be appreciate, because i don't want to lose what i saved on firefox...
