I can no longer access my at&t email from the Firefox Browser.
I received from Firefox that my AT&T email had been breached and a recommendation to change my password. I had trouble changing it on Firefox so I got assistance from AT&T technical support. They were able to help me change my password, however, I was directed to use the Microsoft Edge browser. Now I can access email thru Microsoft Edge, but now cannot get my email on Firefox. After several different attempts, the Technician told me that the problem was contained within the Firefox Browser, and that I would have to uninstall if and download the browser again. However, I would loose all of my bookmark favorites. I do not agree with the recommended solution, as I have the Firefox Browser set for auto updates, and the email was working just fine prior to my changing the password. Are there other options available thru Firefox in order for me to get my email? Also, the Technician first had me to go to settings and delete cookies, browsing history, cache, etc. PLEASE HELP!. I do not like Microsoft Edge and much prefer to use Firefox.

Did you try in FireFox Private Mode browser to verify this was a Addon caused issue preventing login? Firefox can't control the At&t email settings or preferences.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
