Firefox browser issue?
by hazel » Tue Dec 16, 2008 7:36 pm
I installed Firefox 3 today after much prompting from various quarters. However, I find that if I open this forum in a Firefox session, I'm unable to log in. It's no big deal - I just switch to an Internet Explorer 7 session, and can log in just fine. No other forums that I belong to have the same problem with Firefox - just this one.
Has anyone else found this? (Will keep you posted if anything changes)

I've been running Firefix 3 for a couple of weeks now and haven't had a problem logging in.

Bizarre... I'll try again tomorrow, after logging out tonight and a proper system restart.

No problems with Firefox 3 here either. I know I don't have to give you the "clear the cache" etc. lecture...

There must be something lurking in the background. I cleared the cache before installing Firefox, and again after I found I was having trouble, but it's still a problem. Ah well - I shall hose the system down properly when I have time. Meanwhile, IE is still all right, so at least I CAN log in.

It's useful for something then
Apparently there's a brand-spanking new version of Firefox 3 out already - perhaps that will fix your bug, Hazel.

Problem solved, although quite how remains a mystery. I ran my register cleaner, spyware zapper and virus finder this morning, rebooted, and lo and behold, I'm in, on Firefox. So that little lot must've flushed out something that stayed behind when I cleared the cache. I hate computers...

Good news! Remember to get the updated version of Firefox 3, I think it's 3.05. It should either notify you to download the update or just do it automatically.

I know, technology is a wonderfully thing
I can understand why I'd far rather live in the OCS world than the NCS one :angel)*cough* and now to do my 'disappearing trick'
Glad everything's sorted out now, Hazel.
