For the past few weeks I have been unable to log in to reddit from Firefox. I can still log in via chrome, and other browsers but not Firefox. If I use the private window I can log in.This happens on 4 different computers, in 3 different locations and internet providers.

WHAT HAPPENS: click log in pop up window continue with google...(this is different used to go to screen with my username and password.) click already a redditor? log in my username a obscured password appear press log in error message "incorrect username or password"


WHAT I HAVE TRIED: reentering password and username copy and paste username and password from password manager deleting cache in firefox deleting all data deleting cookies reinstalling firefox

Any solution before I have to switch browsers would be appreciated.

To solve problem I hit shift f9 and cleared the cookies. For some reason clearing cookies from the settings menu did not work.

Try right-clicking the site in History then Forget about this site. Make sure you have a backup record of your user name and password before doing that because they will be forgotten also.

If that doesn't fix the issue, try restarting in troubleshoot mode.
