    Hi.
    It's been about a week since I couldn't log into my online account normally. The system simply doesn't allow me in, showing "please wait" and then goes back to authorisation page. This is very strange and new, it used to work normally and without any problems. Would you please advice me what's going on. I can't reenter on both my laptop and my phone.

    Thanks.

    Thanks, Danjo. Just checked with Internet Explorer, and it works! There must be some issues in the system related to Firefox browser. It was working fine until recently.

    Hi danjo-xx,

    We're sorry to read that this is not working for you.

    Could you advise what browsers you used to access the Online Billing system? Or was this error limited to Firefox?

    We can then look into this further for you.

    Thanks,
    Brige

    Brige, both myself and eurasian, have stated above that we can login on other browsers, in his case Internet Explorer and in my case Chrome.

    We both normally use Firefox so there is a problem EI have with it.

    Thanks for reply, Brige. As Danjo said above, it works ok from a different browser. I tried Internet Explorer and it works. It doesn't work from Firefox anymore. Not possible to log in entering correct login and password.

    Seems like things are back to normal. I was able to access my account from Firefox since Thursday.
    Thanks, Electric Ireland, for fixing this.
