On outlook.com sign in with password does not work. It gives "Please retry with a different device or other authentication method to sign in." Works fine in edge.

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.

Hallo Seit meheren Tagen kann Hotmail über Firefox nicht abgerufen werden. Auf mehreren Rechner getestet--ohne Erfolg. Über EDGE funktioniert es ohne Probleme. Firefox einmel gelöscht und neu installiert, immer wieder kein Login zu Hotmail möglich.

When I open mail.yahoo.com, I keep getting: "Something went wrong,We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device." what should I do? any other browser works fine, just firefox is block, I might stop using it very soon.

When Fox News has a new article and I click on it to read, I now get a 500 Error over a blank page. Is there a way to correct this? It has never happened before and only seems to have appeared in the last update of last week.

I’m currently experiencing an issue when trying to use Membership Anywhere through the Firefox browser. Membership Anywhere is a digital membership management platform that many organizations use to manage memberships, events, and member interactions efficiently. While the site works fine on other browsers, certain features, like logging in, accessing the member dashboard, or completing payments, do not function correctly in Firefox.

Specifically, I notice that some pages fail to load completely, and certain interactive elements, such as buttons or form submissions, don’t respond. I have tried clearing the cache, disabling extensions, and updating Firefox to the latest version, but the issue persists. This problem is affecting not just my access but could impact other users of Firefox who rely on Membership Anywhere for managing their memberships digitally.

I wanted to check if there is any known compatibility issue between Firefox and Membership Anywhere, or if there are specific settings or security features in Firefox that could interfere with this platform. I would greatly appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue so that I can continue using Membership Anywhere smoothly without switching to another browser.

When I log in to my Apple tv account on the Firefox browser, it comes up, but won't play the selected program. All other streaming services I subscribe to work fine on Firefox, as did Apple tv until this week. If I try running Apple tv on Google chrome on the same lap top, it works fine too. Ditto on my iPhone using Safari. I'd prefer staying on Firefox to stream Apple tv, but can't make it work at the present time. Can you help?

Hello, I use a shortcut link in my book marks bar to access my apple email account throughout the day on my mac. Apparently my firefox browser was set to auto-update and the new update today has presented some problems. None of my icloud apps are loading either using the updated browser.

Hi there,

I am trying to access this site: https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/ I am logged in on the site with my membership, which is up to date.

But whenever I try to search a word, it redirects me to the login page. I can only assume that something is wrong with my cookies, privacy settings, and extensions in Firefox. After having cleared my cache, allowed cookies for the site in question, and messed around a bit more with my settings, the problem persists.

This is not happening for any other sites. Can you help? Thank you!

I can't sign in to gmail as I used to for years. (It works ok when I use Private Browsing, but that's inconvenient.)

WHAT USED TO HAPPEN: when I was at the sign in page, my password manager (Dashlane) filled in the username and then a screen asking to use the passkey. I said yes, and got in to Google with no problem.

NOW: the password manager fills in my username (my name at gmail.com) and when I hit "NEXT" in the sign in field I get email or phone l.com When I click in the field that disappears and my username appears. When I hit NEXT it goes back to "email or phone l.com". Same when I hit return. Same when I enter my phone number. SO maybe it's Dashlane (my password manager)? But when I disable that and TYPE my username (or phone number) in the field, same stuff happens.

BUT when I use a private browser window, the gmail sign in works as before, and so that's what I've been using -- but it's not convenient having 2 windows open. Before it was just a tab in one window. What changed? Why? Can I change it back? Thanks!
