Thank you for your help. Whenever I try to login to my gmail account from FireFox I am blocked and get the email: "Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened." It's very frustrating because it forces me to use chrome :( Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Details: Win10, I use privacy badger and Ublock Origin but I tried turning them off at no avail.

Hello!

I can certainly understand why this would be frustrating! However, I don't believe that any browser would cause this. Most likely this is an issue that you would need to follow up with Google about :)

Thanks! I am quite sure it is the Browser (or an extension) because I don't have any problem logging in from Safari, Chrome, Edge or outlook...
