Why after the last update i can't log in to some sites?

Post by fits79 »

Hi.
Why after the update of firefox 64.0 i can't log in to some site like "www.xe.gr"?

Before with the 63.0.3 i log in normally.

I didn't change anything at all at settings of firefox.

What's happening when you try to log into that site?
Have you tried clearing the browser cache and any cookies for that site and then restarting Firefox?

I have no idea what "eye icon" you are referring to. Did you try clearing cache and cookies as I suggested above?

There is two fields one for name/login and the other for the password

I mean the second one(bottom) field.

How about performing the two tasks that Dan requested you try....kind of rude to ignore his suggestions.

Perhaps some of those newfangled privacy/blocking settings, or cookies...

Try in a Private Window.

...and kind of pointless to offer more advice when we don't know if the first suggestions had any positive effect.

Clearing the cache & cookies is THE FIRST THING I DO.
Even with all addons disabled still don't do anything at all when i press log in.

Or the eye icon doesn't work.

I assume his "eye icon" refers to the icon some sites display adjacent to the password entry field which, when pressed, will cause the password to be displayed instead of being replaced with dots.
