I have not stored any passwords in Firefox, but it does not permit me to enter the correct password for Vodafone. It works in InterNet Explorer.

Sometimes problems authenticating with websites can be because of corrupted cookies.

Try to clear the Vodafone cookies by doing the below:

  • Click the orange Firefox button (or Tools) go to Options > Privacy > Remove individual cookies (displayed as a link with blue text) > Search for "vodafone" and when you find it, click it, then select Remove Cookies.
  • Restart Firefox and try to log in again.

thank you. I followed the directions but there is no cookie from Vodafone. I looked right through the long list.

Sorry for the very late reply. Your thread got knocked down to the bottom of the queue.

Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:

  • Windows/Mac: Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
  • Linux: Run firefox -safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.
