The Harvard Business Review website at https://hbr.org/ will not allow me to sign in when using Firefox in Private Browsing mode. Support at HBR advised that I will have to disable tracking protection in Firefox and then the site will run properly for me. I value my privacy more than accessing content on the HBR website. I shall no longer be using the HBR website.
