Why will Twitter not allow me to log in suddenly using Firefox 58.0.2?
I was using Twitter and checked my Settings and then suddenly the site would not allow me to check or uncheck any boxes. I tried logging out to see if logging back in would fix the problem, but now I cannot log back in to my account. Furthermore, I cannot uncheck the "Remember me" box on the login screen and I cannot put in a different password, the autofill won't retract what's filled in except for the username. My account is working fine on Safari and Pale Moon, I can log out and in and change settings on both. I checked to see if Firefox had updated or something, and it hasn't changed.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Thanks alot, FredMcD. Clearing my cache worked. I was wondering if it could have been a problem with cookies since I use the Cookie AutoDelete add-on and have Twitter whitelisted so then removed it in order to clear the cookies, but that did not work earlier. I'm glad I can continue using Firefox Quantum rather than going back to another browser since Quantum has worked perfectly for me up until now. Cheers!
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
