I have been getting error messages after every twitter entry minutes after making the tweet, in spite of changing the password 5 times. We noticed a recent login for your account @GarySmithauthor.


DEVICE Firefox on Windows LOCATION Colorado, USA


IF THIS WAS YOU Great! There's nothing else you need to do.

IF THIS WASN'T YOU Your account may have been compromised and you should take a few steps to make sure your account is secure. To start, reset your password now.

WHAT ARE THE FEW STEPS? Thank you, Gary

Hi

This sounds like a security message from Twitter, not an issue with the Firefox web browser.

I recommend that you contact the Twitter support team for help with this issue.
