I go to the web page and the user name and password had been saved for a long time. I try to log in and it said I put in the wrong password. I try and try still the same. I put in the password myself still the something. I know the password was right...I contact the web page thinking that some how my password was changed...NOPE it was the same. I try Internet Explorer and I logged right in. I go back and try firefox....NOPE I can not get in......Why is this? I can always start using Internet explorer and delete firefox.......What is the deal. Does anyone know what is going on??

Thanks Tom

The description is a bit vague, but I'll try to help out.

Try clearing the Cache, Cookies and Active Logins by going to Tools -> Clear Recent History and only checking the three mentioned above.

Do note that by removing these you are logged out of any website that you are logged into, requiring you to log back in again with username and password.

If this does not work, try restarting Firefox without addons by going to Help -> Restart with addons disabled.
