Won't let me log into any websites
Dear sir/madam,
I'm a new member of firefox as I decided to give up with google's terrible cutomer service but I have tried several times to log into websites such as twitter, google, tumblr and many others however none of them are actually logging in. I can confirm all the usernames and passwords are correct however everytime I type them in it just goes back to the homepage of the sites but not with me logged in.
I tried to reset the passwords to see if that help but still no progress, what should I do?
Kind regards, Nikita

Hello,
Try clear your recent history:
Also:
Details like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) are stored in a cookie.
- Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
- Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
- Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
