Cannot log in to websites

I've tried both of the above proposed solutions. Cleared the casche and removed all cookies and still get the 404 not found message when I enter my password to go to mail. I am writing from google chrome which does not have this problem. In fact I only seem to have this problem on my home computer, windows xp with the recent download of firefox.

What's that?

Connection Errors

You can also try to reload the web page(s) and bypass the cache.

• Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
• Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
• Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Check and tell if its working.

thank you for this new information mha007.

I use the other computer where I've been having this trouble only occasionally but will try this work around and get back soon.

Again I appreciate your suggestions to help with my problem.

best regards,

David
