I use to be able to log on my Office 365 college email account with Firefox, but now it is not working anymore. When I click on the email link of my college website, it is suppose to open a new tab directing me to my Office 365 college email. But now the tab leads to Office 365 main login page with my college email address and a box to enter my password. When I enter my password, it says it doesn't recognize my email account or password. I already called my college IT department and they told me it was an issue with Firefox, not the college account. I can access my college email account with Explorer or Edge, but not with Firefox anymore. It did an update the other day, and it worked again for a couple days. Now it's not working again. Can someone help please?
