Hi, I'm using Firefox 107.0 on a Mac O/s Monterey 12.6.1. I'm trying to log in to Virginmedia web site and I'm being informed that my password is invalid. However, when logging in using Safari, I'm able to log in fine. I've cleared all cookies for the web site and still no joy. I am also unable to login using the Mail client for the same reasons. Any suggestions please?
