Trying to login with the MLMYM interface just goes to a blank screen for me. Is anybody else having issues with it? Is there anything I can do to get it working?

Edit: I have no idea why a simple help post is getting this many upvotes / downvotes

    Hmm interesting. The NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error

    I can think of a few more things to try:

    1. Can you try clearing cookies and site data and then try login again?

    1. Try creating a new profile in Firefox. If there is some profile corruption this may fix the issue.
    2. Go to page about:support and then you should see the option to refresh firefox or enter troubleshooting mode.
    3. Try a different browser such as Edge or Chrome, just to see if problem persists.
    4. Try creating a new account on lemmy.dbzer0.com and then login with that account. If that works that would tell us if it’s something to do with your lemmy profile settings.
    5. Try installing a fresh copy of Firefox via a different method (e.g. snap package or flatpack, or deb). The file not found error suggests it could possibly be linked to a file permissions or storage issue, so this may help.

    Obviously, you will lose your current Firefox settings with some of these actions, so caution is advised.

    Sorry I can’t be more specific, it’s hard to know specifically what’s causing the issue since I can’t replicate.

      No dice.

      Didn’t want to lose my settings, didn’t try. Probably doesn’t matter anyway, since…

      Chrome doesn’t work either.

      Awaiting verification.

      Probably not, since Chrome is having the same issue.

        Dang, I’m shit out of ideas. I think we’ve thoroughly ruled out a browser or extension issue. I’ve verified you now. Let’s see if that helps.

              Sigh… ok, I figured it out. I’ve been logging in with my email and password all this time. The mlmym UI apparently only accepts USERNAME and password, unlike the standard interface. It also apparently bugs out and does not inform you that it’s an unrecognised account if you use the actual email, it just fails silently.
