    Impediment to log in.

    I need to log in to an account to use a service of e-commerce; but when I get to the login page I can't write into the text box that has to be filled as part of the login procedure. I suspect this is due to the fact that my browser is a bit out of date (I'm using a Firefox version released in 2015, but for the time being I can't update the browser).
    I enclose a screenshot of the login page that produces the impediment. The image also includes the console content for that page.
    Then: Could somebody analyze the console content in order to find out why I can't write into the text box shown in the image, and if there is any way to elude the impediment without having to update the browser?

    I don't think you will be able to get your current version of Firefox to work with that web site. What operating system and/or device is this on? If there is a different web browser already installed, you could try it instead. Or, you could download run (not install) a more recent portable version of Firefox.

    Did you get to analyze the console content included in the PNG image I posted, so as to determine if there is some other problem different to a browser out of date? Because the fact that I can't write into the text box, might be due to some other reason that has nothing to do with the browser. But in case it is really a browser out of date problem: Is there any patch or something in the web, that can allow me to log in using my actual browser?

    There is not much to analyze on that screen capture. We cannot see the actual code that is producing the error messages, so we cannot tell if it is a code issue or not.

    What operating system and/or device are you using for this? Firefox might be a standard browser for various Linux distributions, but Windows, Apple systems, or Android phones would likely have something else available.

    The OS I use is Ubuntu 15.10, which is the 2015 release of Ubuntu Linux for a 32bit machine. Unfortunately, by the time being I can't upgrade the OS; and because the OS is not supported any more since 2016, I can't update the browser that runs in it. Then, again: Is there any patch or something in the web, that can allow me to elude the login impediment I have using my actual browser?

    There are still some options if you do not want to upgrade Ubuntu at this time.

    You could install a VM (Virtual Machine) that uses a later version of Ubuntu, and then use that to access the web site.

    Or, you could create a bootable disc or flash drive with a later version of Linux that has a newer version of Firefox on it.

    Have you tried to install Chrome (or Chromium) for Ubuntu 15.10? That might also solve your issue.
