Can't log in to Hotmail

After the last Firefox update, I am not able to sign in to Hotmail (or possibly Microsoft account in general). Firefox is asking for "Face, fingerprint, PIN or security key" - but it has never asked to create any of these. Apparently, it is impossible to sign in with a password. And this request seems to originate from Firefox, not from Microsoft - and I am able to sign in to Hotmail with other browsers. How can I disable this, so I can use Hotmail in Firefox?

Hi

So that this can be looked into further:

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Open a new tab and type in “about:logging” into the URL bar.
  3. Set the "Logging preset" to "Networking"
  4. Select "Logging to a file" and note the path to the log file.
  5. Click on "Start Logging".
  6. Reproduce the issue (i.e. go to the web site that is broken for you and make the bug happen in the browser)
  7. Click on "Stop Logging".
  8. Provide the link or dump files to the Firefox developers via email to necko@mozilla.com

Thank you for your help.

it would also be good to know if you are using Adblocker Ultimate in Firefox.
