    Re: Cannot login using Firefox

    What version of Firefox do you use?
    I'm using the beta version and I don't have any problems.

    Re: Cannot login using Firefox

    I never have any issues with Firefox, Opera or Safari logging in. My bet would be on some sort of third party plug-in / software you have installed that automatically tries to insert values into the form fields (maybe a password auto complete or something?).

    Define "Could not login using Firefox." What? Get an error? Your fingers broken? What does that mean?

    Using the latest Fx stable & no issues here.... never have had any.

    Do not know. It just rejected my logins via Firefox.

    A few minutes ago, I logged out, closed Firefox, restarte Firefox and was able to login again. That makes twice in a row.

    If problem re-appears, I'll let y'all know.

    Re: Cannot login using Firefox

    Then I submit that problem is on your end with something going on with your FireFox setup. We have lots of members that use that browser, and this is the first (that I recall anyway) that someone has indicated an inability to log onto the site.

    I do often refer to them as rogue cookies; anomalous entities which often cannot be reproduced but go away after a bit of fiddling.

    Re: Cannot login using Firefox

    My worst case is at a major bank's web site.

    4 times last year, my login cookies got screwed up.
    This rarely happens (to me) elsewhere.

    Not yet this year, ooops, I just jinxed meself!
