For the last day or so, I not been able to log into the forum with Firefox. Forum accepts the login (The same logins used with this browser.) But
then I am not logged in...
I do have a backup browser, but I to save that for things I don't care about. If anybody can tell me how to fix it, I would appreciate it.

Matt,
I logged in earlier tonight with no issues on Firefox, but when I went to log in just now to reply to your post, I could not log in under FireFox. I
had to use Chrome to post this message.

Interesting...

My Staff says I never listen to them, or something like that
 
Data point: I just logged in directly to the web mirror using Firefox 68.0.2 (64-bit) with no trouble.

Although it was a bit odd that I had to log in at all as I have saved the login locally and it usually just 'works' without logging in.

Oh well, perhaps there is a computer involved. They can be finicky.

I usually do not use Firefox but I fired it up and it worked fine
Version 67.0 (64-bit)
It is prompting me to Restart to update which I am about to do to see if it makes a difference.

I am using release 60.9.0esr. It just automatically sent me the newest update Monday and installed it. I have no idea what esr does but it is what I
have always used. No problems here. So I am not much help.

Now I remember. There was something I wanted that all of the browsers were deleting By locking it down at that point I kept the feature. Please do
not ask what it was I was keeping. I do not remember.

I'm using Firefox 69.0 released September 3, 2019. Maybe its just the newest release that is causing issues. It says my version is up to date, but
I'm on the regular channel version, not beta.

I had to use Chrome again to log in and post this reply.

Bruce,

It seems I am now running 69.0 too.
That may be the issue.

I use Firefox exclusively and haven't had any problems. Maybe I am not running the latest update.

Well, this is on Firefox using WIN7PRO OS. I allow automatic updates, so it's whatever they currently update to. The last couple of updates have
slowed it noticeably.

And as of this morning, Firefox wouldn't log it. So Chrome is the move for me.

The problem is in the 69.0 Update.

I think I figured out a workaround:

If you see this post then it works, if not then it's something else.

Open a "Private Window" in Firefox (Menu dropdown option at upper right) and login normally. The private window does not allow cookies or tracking to
be stored and everything disappears when you close the window)

I love computers :)

If private/incognito mode works, then clearing cookies should enable you to go back to using standard non-incognito mode.

I am running 69.0 (64-bit) without issue for the GMCforum. However, it seems that more than a few sites are broken when I use Firefox which forces me
to use Chrome. For example, about a week ago I find that I can't log into my Nest thermostats (I have 5) with Firefox, but have no issues with Chrome
or my iPhone.

Amazon is also broken with Firefox, because I keep getting something I brought years ago that keeps showing up in the search box no matter what I do
to delete it. That keeps me from searching for things I want. I have to use Chrome now to buy things on Amazon.

Sucks, because I still like Firefox when it works.
 
Cleared the cookies, now it logs on. Wil this continue???? Keep watxching thias space!

I spoke too soon (above). I am currently logged in on Internet Explorer at my office computer because Firefox will not let me log in. Something
about the site being unsecure.

I'll try clearing cookies and see what happens. or just use the Private Window setting to log in.
