Firefox won't log me on to various accounts with passwrods for those account - I have to use Google browser
Firefox frequently doesn't work when I try to logon to various accounts I have. I get errors from whatever website it is. When I use Chrome I have ZERO issues. It's Firefox. Not me or my passwords or anything else. I can always logon with Chrome. Would like to keep using FireFox, but if this persists I won't use it anymore. Help?

IT WON'T LOG ME ONTO VARIOUS ACCOUNTS - PERIOD. I go to Google Chrome, put in my email, password at the same sites where I can't logon - et VOILA!
I'm not only IN, but I can access my accounts. It's that simple. I'm not getting error messages on FireFox or anything. I got fed up with not being able to logon to my accounts (and I had reset SEVERAL passwords, because I didn't know what was going on, and the resets didn't work). So, I tried Chrome and got in. BOOM!
What's up with FireFox not logging me on? Any ideas?
American Airlines is a perfect example of where I had this issue. I now only logon using Chrome. Also, Nespresso, Stahlbush Farms, and several others which escape me right now, but the common denominator is me trying to use THIS browser, giving up and then using Chrome and getting in.
