I have used Firefox for years as my main browser and have my gmail on both iPad and iPhone come up without having to sign in each time. Now on my iPad, Google gives me a message that my browser may be insecure and I have to sign in each time which is highly inconvenient and irritating. Each time, Google asks to switch my browser to Chrome. Can you tell me what is going on? Thanks -

This is not my forte but I cannot even log into Google- I get message that I do not have access to that page - error - that’s all we know ( their words). I’m in on my iPhone but the problem is on my iPad.
