cannot log into att.com website
I cannot log into att.com from firefox, yet can through google chrome. This is a fairly new problem over the last month or so.
When logging into their site, website keeps bouncing back and forth between the att.com logo, to a blank white screen, that says "redirecting". It never allows me into the website.
Please help, or fix this issue on your end.
many thanks,

Hi Freda, technically, multiple servers are involved. When I go to the Sign In page from https://www.att.com/ the page is on https://signin.att.com/ .
Firefox recently rolled out "Total Cookie Protection" to more users. This limits how sites can use "third party" cookies, meaning cookies from different servers than the one you see in the address bar. If AT&T needs "cross-site" cookie sharing in order to work properly, then you will need to make exceptions. Here's how:
On each different AT&T server you notice in the address bar, turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection. To do that, click the shield icon to the left of the lock icon in the address bar. Then click the slider switch to turn off protection.
Any improvement?

This suggestion did not resolve the problem. Now I'm getting the below message.

Please help me fix this, as I don't want to continually move between browsers.
many thanks,
Freda

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
