I am experiencing big issues when using Quora on Firefox (note. ONLY with FF, no problems with Safari or Chrome).

1) when I type www.quora.com FF automatically convert it to it.quora.com. Impossible to readdress to international site.

2) It cannot understand I am already a registered user. Below a comparison btwn Safari (left) vs FF (right) login page both setted, for sake of comparison, to it.quora You can easily see two major problems here: the red sentence say it does not recognize me as a registered user; even if I manually enter my pw, the login blue button remains non clickable.

Again this happens only in FF.

I already deactived the antitracking feature on FF.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose, make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website, data for that website will be saved once again.

you missed the point. This is not something that went wrong after a while. I visited Quora by FF only this time and it didn't work (see point 1 and 2) above so there was no previous history to be erased. Indeed there was no difference if visiting the site in private mode (so no history, no cookie, no extension...) or in standard mode: the login botton won't be clickable and when entering my mail it pop up a message (no user with this mail)

Let's make it even more clear. 1) If I search for random quora page by google (i.e. https://www.quora.com/How-intense-was-the-battle-of-Monte-Cassino-during-WWII) and open it, it is ok even if I cannot complete the login process. 2) however if type www.quora.com it immediately redirect me to it.quora.com (still no login possible).

Maybe it is a bug in FF for mac only ...

p.s. of course I also tested the "forget this website step"
