I have been trying for months to log into my email account (fastmail.com) on firefox, and it will not accept my user name and password. I have no intention of changing either of those, as it opens fine on google or any other server. I have several different email names within the fastmail domain, all with the same password, but none of them works. I can sign into my earthmail account and my gmail account with no problem on firefox...just not the fastmail.
