Spectrum recently updated their email systems and Firefox can no longer be used to check Spectrum webmail email accounts. I used to be able to go directly to the webmail but now they make you log into your Spectrum account to get to the email accounts and there is something about Firefox that is not up to their security standards. I am running Windows 7 with the latest Firefox that will work in 7. I am also running the Brave browser on Windows 7 and that works with the new Spectrum system. I prefer using Firefox over Brave so could you please correct whatever deficiency exists in Firefox to make it compatible with Spectrum webmail?
FYI, Firefox on my Windows 10 machine has the same issue.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that. Here are some standard troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue:
- Please check if you have Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) enabled. You can do that by clicking the shield
icon in the left part of the address bar.
- If ETP is enabled, try disabling it.
- If the problem is not fixed, try clearing Firefox cache.
- If it does not help, try clearing cookies and data for the website you experience troubles with (warning: you will be logged out on this website).
- If it also does not help, try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. If the problem doesn't persist, please follow the steps from this article to troubleshoot further.
- If nothing from the above helps, try creating a new Firefox profile and check if the issue persists there. If it doesn't, you can start copying files from your old profile to the new one to identify which one causes the issue. See this article on what files to copy.
- Finally, if creating a new profile hasn't helped, please check if the issue persists in other browsers (e.g. Chrome, Edge, Opera or Safari).
- If it does, it is most likely an issue on the website's side. You may want to inform the website owner or administrator about that.
- If it doesn't, that's a compatibility issue. Please report it on WebCompat, so that our team there may be able to look into it. We'd also appreciate posting a link to your report here.
Does any of the above help? Looking forward to your update on how it goes!
