Hi,

I'm trying to access my Apple ID (appleid.apple.com). When I select "Sign In" the page hangs and never displays the fields to enter my user name and password. The message I get is "This action could not be completed because of an error. Try again or check back later."

Under Settings > General > Network Settings I selected No proxy and I disabled DNS over HTTPS. But neither of these actions made a difference.

Eventually, I had to use Microsoft Edge to access my account.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Thank you both!

Unfortunately, nothing I try seems to work. I've modified the Protection settings, I've uninstalled all of my extensions, and I tried reinstalling Firefox. This is the first time I've reinstalled Firefox in 12 months, but I also tried removing all cache and cookies just in case it made a difference. But I still can't get to the page which allows me to enter my user name to manage my Apple ID. I'm also having an odd experience with other sites I use such as www.bing.com. I tried downloading and installing Google Chrome just to see and I was able to get in without a problem. I attached a screenshot that I can get in using MS Edge. I didn't attach a screenshot using Chrome.

Let's go ahead an close this issue. With any luck the more I try using Firefox the better my experience will be.

Again, thank you both for taking the time to reach out. It's much appreciated!
