New computer firefox opens and immediately goes to a google error page
On a new computer, when I open firefox it goes to my homepage but immediately opens a new page which says Google 401. That’s an error.
Error: deleted_client
The OAuth client was deleted. Request Details
That’s all we know.
Does not happen on any other computers
