    OK, I was finally able to make DropBox work with Firefox (v. 61.0.1).  I started Firefox in Safe Mode, then went to Library > History > Clear History > Clear Everything.  Then restarted FF in regular mode, and was then able to access my DropBox account.  Hope this helps someone out.  :)

Hi, Walter,

 

Yes, and that seems to have solved the problem!  I was trying to access via FireFox (v. 61.0.1) earlier on a Windows Surface Pro 4; when I tried using Microsoft Edge, it worked fine.

So, there seems to be a potential compatibility issue with FireFox.  

The DropBox site asked me to change my password, also - perhaps because of the multiple logon attempts.

Thank you for the response!
