Hi rayemathis, which email site is the problem -- Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.? Or Outlook Web App?
Can you think of any changes that might have triggered the problem, e.g., updating Firefox or an add-on, or installing a new add-on?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, choose
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Try deleting the cookies and reloading the page. Does that help?
Edit: Before deleting cookies, make sure you save any work in progress, e.g., save any message you're composing to Drafts, since you probably will have to log in again.
