For the past few weeks I have been unable to log in to reddit from Firefox. I can still log in via chrome, and other browsers but not Firefox. If I use the private window I can log in.This happens on 4 different computers, in 3 different locations and internet providers.

WHAT HAPPENS: click log in pop up window continue with google...(this is different used to go to screen with my username and password.) click already a redditor? log in my username a obscured password appear press log in error message "incorrect username or password"


WHAT I HAVE TRIED: reentering password and username copy and paste username and password from password manager deleting cache in firefox deleting all data deleting cookies reinstalling firefox

Any solution before I have to switch browsers would be appreciated.

To solve problem I hit shift f9 and cleared the cookies. For some reason clearing cookies from the settings menu did not work.

"Clear cookies and site data" from the padlock icon in the address bar does not work?

Try right-clicking the site in History then Forget about this site. Make sure you have a backup record of your user name and password before doing that because they will be forgotten also.

If that doesn't fix the issue, try restarting in troubleshoot mode.
