Well, perhaps it was - but your original post is also lacking in useful details. For example - what do you mean that you "can't log on"? Do you mean:

  • The ssa.gov website doesn't even load properly?
  • The webpage loads but the form fields for your username and/or password are unselectable?
  • You can fill in your username and password but the "Login" button doesn't work?
  • You get an error about the username or password, even though it should work (are you using login.gov, id.me or an ssa.gov username?)?
  • Everything works, but after logging in the page refreshes back to the login form page?
  • Something else...?


"I cannot log on SSA.gov" isn't much to work with.

Logging into SSA Via Firefox:

All politics aside, try clearing your cookies and caches: Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox - Firefox. What happens when you use Firefox on a different device?

Thank you - I used Chrome when I couldn't get in. I used to use Safari exclusively, but I could not get my bank website to work on it so I switched and now prefer Firefox. I use Chrome as my back up.

I get it. However, if your primary concern is specifically being able to use the site in Firefox, as opposed to a general inability to use the site no matter what browser you try, you're in the wrong place.


You can find support for Firefox here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/

Yes, politics aside for sure because I need to keep my stress levels down, respectufully, those were all of the things I have done to try to clear the issue. I may be older, but I am certified to work on computers and, while I do not know everything and don't claim to, I cannot resolve this issue with Firefox by standard means which were done way before reaching out and after researching to see if others were experiencing the same issue and found a resolution.
