About a week ago I found that I could no longer log in to Evernote () using Firefox. When I click the LogIn link, I get the message "This page isn't redirectly correctly". This happens on both Ubuntu 20.10 and Ubuntu 21.04. The problem occurs with both Firefox 88.0.1 and Firefox 90.0a1. I CAN access my Evernote account using Chrome. Also I am able to access my account using Firefox on Windows 10. For some reason Evernote seems to regard the GET as "suspicious" when coming from Ubuntu.
I have tried clearing the cookies without any success.
Anyone have any ideas? (Both versions of Ubuntu are up to date with patches.) Here follows the wireshark trace of the attempted login.

I don't think this is Ubuntu, it may be Firefox 88. I tried to use Evernote authorise for my webapp in development on Mac Pro 10.15.7 and got the
I get the same response just using

(This will be irritating as I've only just finished the feature)
I don't have an answer to your question - just a comment: I access Evernote (constantly, every day) using Firefox 88.0.1 on Pop!_OS 20.04 and have not experienced any trouble at all. I have a premium account with Evernote - I don't know whether that would make any difference or not.

I'm still not sure what the problem was but it was "cured" by rebooting the system. My apologies for posting before doing that.
