Since I installed the Firefox 141.0 update I can't login to Reddit

Hello, since I installed the Firefox 141.0 update today, I can't login to Reddit. I tried logging into Reddit right after updating Firefox, so did a System Restore to see if that corrected the problem, and it did.

To double check, I installed the Firefox 141.0 update again, and encountered the same problem logging into Reddit again, so it's definitely this new update causing the problem.

I've attached the Reddit messages I get. The 1st is the initial message, and the 2nd after I retry logging in.

I would greatly appreciate help with this.

Thank you,

Michael T.

Does it work any better on "old" Reddit? Example: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/

In reviewing your extension list, it seems that your version of Adblock Plus might be over a year old? Could you try disabling it temporarily on the Add-ons page (Ctrl+Shift+A), Extensions list? (uBlock Origin should pick up the slack - you usually don't need both.)

Hello jscher2000,

Thank you for responding and the suggestions. After reading your message, I tried logging into Reddit again before trying them, and inexplicably am suddenly able to with no problem.

The only thing I can think is a Firefox developer may have read my issue and knew just the tweak to correct it.

I very much appreciate your efforts to help people experiencing problems here. With best wishes..

Sincerely,

Michael T.

Hi Michael,

Have you tried clearing cookies and site data for Reddit? It might also worth trying from a clean profile. I've been looking around on r/firefox and the webcompat website to find similar issue, but I couldn't find one.

Hi Kiki,

Thanks for replying and the suggestion. Yes, I cleared cookies, cache, and did everything else i could think of but nothing so far has worked.

I ran into a somewhat similar issue after a previous Firefox update a year or two ago. After installing it, i could no longer view comments on the Disqus platform using Firefox Private Browsing. I can still see them using the regular browser, but not the private, so I don't private browse anymore.

What about trying on a new profile?

I'm having the same problem on 143.0.1 for Mac (Sequoia 15.6.1 on a Macbook Air). I can log into Reddit using Safari or the iPhone app, but in Firefox it tells me "invalid username or password."

I tried all the measures listed at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-login-issues-on-websites-require-passwords but it changed nothing. Cache, cookies, history, etc.
