I have account with them, I even called Pay Pal and they couldn't help me they said its on the browser end. I went to another computer that has windows and was able to complete my transaction. Tried it again today, and still can not get logged in, is it because I didn't want the computer to store my password for that site? Everything else works why not getting logged into pay pal?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

  • Clear the Cache and

  • Cache; Select Advanced > Network. Across from Cached Web Content, Press Clear Now.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). While you are in safe mode;
