Firefox Issues With Outlook Login

Hello Support Team,

Since updating to the newest Firefox instance, anytime I try to login to my Hotmail/Outlook account I get the following error: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." If I wait several hours I can login with the Firefox browser into my Hotmail/Outlook account successfully. This happens every singe time I try to login to the site after a period of time. Alternatively I can go to any other browser and login immediately with no issues.

Troubleshooting:

  • Removed/Reinstalled Antivirus/Firewall Software (Did Not Resolve)
  • Removed/Reinstalled Firefox with fresh instance (Did Not Resolve)
  • Disabled Extensions (Did Not Resolve)
  • Disabled Privacy Settings (Did Not Resolve)
  • Cleared Cookies, History, Cache (Did Not Resolve)
  • Cleared Forms (Did Not Resolve)
  • Tried Private Window (Did Not Resolve)
  • Tried Troubleshooting Mode (Did Not Resolve)

I don't want to have to switch to another browser for my browsing needs, but this has become a major issue for me. What else can we do to troubleshoot and resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Cheers, Jason

When was the last time your changed your password? I had the same issues last week and ended up changing my password because it was 3yrs since I last changed it. After the change I was finally able to get in.
