Unable to Login to SSA.Gov Site

Whenever I login to the web site "SSA.GOV" and click the login button, the next screen presented in Firefox is: "Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

If I go to a Private Window, type in the SSA.Gov and then select the Login page, I am presented with the correct page and can then supply my information and login.

The header field most notorious for growing and growing is the cookies field. Since private windows do not re-use the cookies from regular windows, your private window test supports this theory.

I suggest trying to clear your cookies for that site. Here's how:

  • While viewing a page on the site, click the lock icon at the left end of the address bar.
  • After a moment, a "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button should appear at the bottom.
  • Go ahead and click that. Firefox will ask you to confirm; go ahead and confirm.

Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?
