On all other devices I can sign in. And also with the Edge browser in this device I can sign in on my insurance. DigiD is an official site from the Dutch gouvernment to get acces to private websites

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.

I installed a new laptop Acer Aspire 3. with windows 10. On first sight, everything was ok. Surfing on internet was no problem, I could open all sites. But then I wanted to open the private part of my health-insurance site. I can only get access to this site via a secured site from our official government site DigiD in Holland.

I get access to this site, and I get access to the insurance site. But to get access to my private part of the insurance, I have to do this via DigiD. If I do this I only get the same site of the insurance site where I am asked to sign in via DigiD.

If I use the Edge browser, I have no problem, on my older laptop with Firefox, no problem either, I get directly my private site of the insurance.

I have deleted Firefox and installed it again, nothing works until now. I hope I am clear now Thanks for helping me Jo

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
