I'm using FF on another computer, and pages that I have used in the original have opened, except for Twitter. I give the PW and the message for saving the password appears, but Twitter's HP page doesn't open, instead the registration page is the one that does... I have tried with another system and the page opens, so I know the problem isn't Twitter's, but FF's... can you help me? I want to open Twitter here...

Please update to the latest version 31.1.1.

Here are some initial troubleshooting steps:

  1. Does this happen when you do not save the password?
  2. Does this happen when you temporarily disable firewalls or antiviruses? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls#McAfee_Personal_Firewall
