I am having trouble logging into twitter with cookies. Currently I have my config set up with this.
The files is set up correctly but I am not sure about the rest. Ive tried logging in with -g -u commands which work but then I get [twitter][error] AuthenticationError: "Sorry, we could not find your account.". I've tried logging in with the firefox commands but then i get the error below

Are you actually logged in with Firefox?
I just tried it and it works for me.

$ gallery-dl --cookies-from-browser firefox twitter.com/potus
[cookies][info] Extracted 6 cookies from Firefox

...

Also, your config file has an error and you are using an outdated version.

I was using a wierd version of firefox so I logged in to the original browser. I think it helped but now it comes up that i get no results. I made sure to update gallery to 1.26.4.

I made sure to update gallery to 1.26.4.

Check gallery-dl --version. There have been instances of users updating to the latest version , but they somehow managed to have multiple versions on their system and their shell still ran an older one (#4762).
