I have been using Mozilla Firefox as my browser for years as don't like Google. On Saturday I found I could not log into my BT email accounts. I reported the issue to BT who said a number of customers had experienced the same problem. Today I was told to use Google to access my BT email accounts by BT and it appeared to work. I would prefer to go back to Mozilla Firefox. I can load the BT email log in page but when I try to sign in nothing happens and its the same on both email accounts.

In Firefox 54 and below:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
  2. Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
  3. Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
  4. Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
