I am getting "bad request: request too long" for my email on Firefox but it works on Safari. Is there a quick fix?
I don't understand why Firefox will not allow me to access my email (which I've always been able to do) and Safari will allow me to. Also, if I couldn't get to my email at all, how much good would signing in do for me? I just want to know why today, and never in the past I'm getting "bad request: request too long" for my primary email. Please advise
