QBO won't load any longer on FireFox?

QBO will no longer load (as of this morning) on FireFox [latest version].  It gets stuck with the 4 spinning dots at the main web portal page: https://qbo.intuit.com/app/

 

Support also won't work correct since it requires login, which won't work on FF.  Works normally on Chrome, so we know it's not a total outage, but rather some kind of update that killed the app for FireFox.  We've done all the usual troubleshooting (cleared cache, cookies, etc.) to no avail...

 

Any ideas on why this won't load any more, or anyone else seeing this or can verify?

 

Also seeing auth issues trying to post to support from FF, see attached.  Makes me think that something with a security cookie isn't responding correctly on FireFox browsers anymore.

 

Thanks!

Hello Gentek,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community! I appreciate the steps you took! Could you try accessing QuickBooks in a private browser in Firefox for me and let me know if you get the same results? Here's how: 

 

  • Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P

 

Please let me know if you are experiencing the same issue. I'm here to help you find a solution. Take care and stay safe.

Good morning,

 

It does load in a private FF window, which begs the question, why even with cache and cookies purged for intuit.com does the app still not load in a normal window..?

@Gentek  In my experience, Intuit's cookies don't always display under obviously Intuit related lines when you go to clear the cache.

 

Best guess is that this is what you're seeing, if you're only selectively purging the cache. Intuit has a long-standing and severe allergy to all variety of cookies.

QBO won't load any longer on FireFox?

Hello, @Gentek. Thank you for providing more information about your browser experience while using QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let me provide some insights below.

 

The issue of not loading in a normal window, despite clearing the cache and cookies for intuit.com, but successfully loading in a private Firefox window suggests that there may be other persistent data or settings interfering with the app's functionality during regular browsing sessions. It could be related to browser extensions, security settings, or other cached data not directly linked to cookies or conventional cache storage.

 

Furthermore, specific requirements for internet speed and browser compatibility on your computer may vary depending on the system you use. Generally, QuickBooks is compatible with the current and two previous versions of the following browsers on both web and mobile platforms. Please note that Internet Explorer is no longer supported.

 

Supported browsers include:

 

  • Google Chrome: version 78 or newer
  • Mozilla Firefox: version 76 or newer (Mac OS users will need the Firefox PDF plugin to preview and print forms)
  • Microsoft Edge: version 79 or newer
  • Safari: version 12 or newer (Mac only)
  • Opera: version 68 or newer
  • Samsung Internet: version 10 or newer

 

Exploring these possibilities will help resolve the issue and allow QBO to load properly in a normal window.
