No longer can I sign into gmail using Firefox, but gmail works fine using Chrome and Edge.
Is there a way that I can express my trouble using gmail in Firefox, but have the gmail accounts work fine in Chrome and Edge? In Firefox, my gmail accounts show me as LOGGED OUT, when they are supposed to be logged in, and Firefox will not allow me to log into them again. I have 3 gmail accounts, [edited email from public] @gmail.com is my most active, but none will work in Firefox anymore, but in other browsers, they work fine. All other tabs I open in Firefox, works fine, so it's only my gmail accounts, that has trouble in Firefox. What can I do to correct this?
Thanks
Paul

I would try removing cookies and site data and clearing the cache.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Terry, FredMcD, and donthavecow, I thank you for your efforts to help me with is issue. It takes a little longer at times to reply back to those who assist me, but at 70 years of age, it'll eventually show up. Bought my first pc in June, 1994, so it'll soon be 28 years of using one, and although I tend to not want to trash all my cookies and caches, it's something that just needs to get done, even as bad a taste as it leaves after you do it. I tried clearing only the cache, but that wasn't what solved it, I had to dump the cookies also, THEN IT WORKED. So, I'm grateful I keep a listing alphabetically of sites I log into, so my user id and password, just need's me to take a peak at them. Again, it was nice of you all to make an effort to help me, and it's nice there are people who make the effort, to help others.
God Bless
