I log in to Shutterfly ok but get "You must be signed in, user ID required."

I can log in to Shutterfly and all appears normal. When I attempt to add pictures to share I get, "This command had an error during processing. The user id is required."

I was logged in because I had already entered my correct user id and password.

This result happens every time. When I opened my new shutterfly account, prior to the last Firefox upgrade, I did not have this error.

Chosen solution

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Could not determine which Firefox add on or extension was the problem, however resetting Firefox allowed access to Shutterfly.

Thanks for ending the frustration!

Mark as solved.
