Microsoft Websites Sign In with Wrong Account by Default

Any time I try to sign into a Microsoft website with my Microsoft account, it defaults to my school account rather than my personal one. Sometimes I click "sign in" and it brings me to the page for choosing an account to sign into, the only option is my school account, leaving me to choose "sign in with another account" and put my email in manually. Sometimes when I click "sign in" it just automatically logs me into my school account and I have to go back to the sign in button to change. Sometimes it seems to just sign me into my school account automatically.

I made a post on the Microsoft Forum about the topic and was told it was most likely a browser issue. I've looked through my saved passwords but didn't find any clues to the issue, perhaps it's related to cookies? But I haven't much confidence clearing them would solve things as this issue has persisted over full OS reinstallations.

The only place I've actually entered the login information for my school account was signing into Outlook, while my personal account I only logged into manually on... some other Microsoft platform, perhaps the account management page. The password for my personal account is remembered, but the data entry forms never autofill; after I type in the email manually it just instantly signs me in.

Thanks.

I have tried to regaing access to my main account for days now and I can not get past the "Enter authentication code to continue to ⁨Firefox Sync⁩"

"Open your authentication app and enter the authentication code it provides." "Enter 6-digit code"

So where is the authentication app"

I want back into my account!!!!!!

I've tried to Uninstall Firefox Multiple times - I have Clear out the Registry and located every possible file andfolder on my system but it appears Firefox has some anchor files and or lines in the registry that I am unable to remove and all that happens when I attempt to create a new account or use my primary account or some old accounts using old email addresses is it is looking for a 6 Digit Code from an Authenticator App I don;t seem to have or know how to get to - I want this resolved and not told to do pointless instructions from Mozilla support that lead, EVERYTIME to the same issue I am trying to resolve.

I have tried to log into my google accounts on the browser, but everytime I press the sign in button on the google homepage, it takes me to google's "clear cache" website. However, signing in works normally on a private window. I have tried clearing my cache multiple times and it keeps taking me back to the cache page.

FF Settings menu, select, Startup, (Open previous Windows /tabs) is greyed out an not selectable. I adopted FireFox because I like the way that it operated. I could open FireFox and previous tabs and windows would open automatically. When I opened a new tab, FF would jump there automatically. If I wanted to check spelling, I could type in the search window and see correct options. ALL THAT IS GONE! Why should I keep using FF when it has lost functions that I depended upon?

All of a sudden Firefox is not allowing me to access some of my accounts. Specifically, my Novant MyChart account to access all of my doctors. If this continues, I will be forced to quit and or delete Firefox. This new security is too tight.

Hello!

Recently there was an update today, Oct 3rd, where after it was completed, I have been unable to open any extra tabs. Everything has to be in a new window. They keyboard shortcuts do not work and I am running out of ideas.

It will crash out randomly and say that there is an issue when submitting the crash report. Closing the window[s] and then trying to reopen Firefox results in a message saying that it's already running, and the old process needs to be closed to open a new window.

If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you.

I updated nearly all of my passwords on my desktop to firefox-generated passwords. Then I was on Firefox on android, and I needed to login to something, but it was filling in the old password. I pressed "sync" in the app, but that didn't update the password. Then I discovered that for reasons I don't understand, all the new passwords in firefox on my desktop had been overwritten by the old passwords from my phone. How do I recover my passwords? I'm locked out of everything.

Firefox was working all day. Then when I went back to it later in the day, it would not start saying that it couldn't find a dll.

The instructions I found onsite, using another browser was to uninstall Firefox and do a clean install. They instructions said that I would not lose my bookmarks.

I faithfully followed the instructions and uninstalled the application, it had problems doing that as it kept coming up that it could not find a file. However, it did complete.

I then reinstalled Firefox.

I have no bookmarks to anythings. No banking bookmarks, no entertainment bookmarks... no nothings.

It will take me months to recover if I can even find those sites again....

I'm really annoyed with Mozilla and am now seriously considering a new primary browser. In all my years on a computer I have never had this happen before.

Now if you know a way that I can recover all my bookmarks, I will reconsider.
