What is going on with Firefox? I can't login into Gmail or Hotmail anymore!

Cutter — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 22:55:15 GMT

Every single time I try to login into Gmail or Hotmail these days it says it suspicious activity and won't permit me to login at all. Yet, if I use Brave or my cell phone apps - which I am loathe to do - I can login no problems. You guys need to fix this double quick time or I'm done with Firefox. It's already the slowest, most bloated browser out there. I can't even use it on my cell it's so slow most of the time the page won't even fully load. Just about done here.

Clear Firefox cookies and cache from Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data, then restart the browser.
Disable all extensions (especially ad-blockers and privacy add-ons) and try logging in again.
Set Enhanced Tracking Protection to Standard instead of Strict.
Update Firefox to the latest version from Help → About Firefox.
If it works in a Private window, the issue is caused by an extension or corrupted cookies
