Firefox isn't allowing me to sign it to my Google Docs accounts, I get the login screen but when I enter my password, nothing happens.
IF I use Safari, I can login to my Google Docs accounts, and I used to use Firefox. (I prefer to use Firefox but lately I have to switch to Safari to get in to several websites that I have to sign-in to access.) I had trouble with several bill pay sites the other night and had to open Safari to access them. Now I can't get into my Google Docs accounts at all. I logged out of my work account yesterday to log-in to my personal account and now I can't access any of them. Never had trouble with this before.
I can get to the attached login screen, but when I try and enter my password, nothing happens. It also won't do anything if I hit the next button or the drop down arrow for other accounts.
