Now I can't use firefox

[Ripshod]

My usual browser here is Firefox. When I came to the site this evening (Thursday) I'd been logged out and had to log in again. Only every time I try I get this popup:

There is nowhere to accept the cookies. I checked my settings:

And you can see cookies are enabled. So the site wants me to sign in, when I try I have to accept cookies with no way to accept them (I assume should be a popup). What the hay?

 

[itzmered]

make sure the site is https and then you will not see that pop up

 

[Ripshod]

See the address bar in my first screenie. You'll see I am using SSL

 

[Ripshod]

All cookies cleared. Firefox has been completely reset to like new. Still having the problem and lost all my various site passwords

I'm on Firefox and not having any problems... but I stay signed in all the time even when I'm not on.

but I stay signed in all the time even when I'm not on.

I was exactly the same, never logged out. Only this time I come back and I'm logged out.

What browser are you using to get on now?

What browser are you using to get on now?

I'm using Tor Browser right now, I can also get in fine with chrome
I'm on android.

I was getting a bunch of cookie errors yesterday when the site when down and eventually came up as a insecure site. No issues today since, I use chrome.

Okay, progress. I can get in on Firefox using a French VPN.

Doh...... no clue what that is.... I log in, I log out, I email... that's about it. I'm in deep doo doo when it comes to technology. When I can't get in I go do something else. There's ALWAYS something to do .... darn it.

And everything is back to normal after rebooting the router for a fresh IP. Bloomin Firefox.

We switched over to waterfox a few months ago as it’s not as bloated as Firefox. So far so go with it. Works just like firefox too.most of the Addams do as well.

Funny, the IP you were using when you reported the issue was a new IP to your account and recently reported as forum spam.

How 'bout them hors d'oeuvres , ain't they sweet.... little piece of cheese, little piece of meat. Don'tcha wish computers were this easy!

Sounds about right does that. Sometimes I hate having a dynamic IP, getting judged by others' actions. I'll get over it and remember this next time it happens, because it surely will.

 

[Macawnutz]

I have a really ugly set of IP's from my desktop. If I was a new member being judged by my IP alone the forum would deny my account.

Truthfully, once you have an account here, your IP address should not be an issue for access unless it is a banned IP. ( which it wasn't )

 

[Ripshod]

It's just happened again. I'm on site now using the same French VPN. If I was paranoid I'd just say the forum hates me again.
To repeat: I leave myself logged in. I came back to the forum after a 10 minute break and I'd been logged out. Tried clearing cookies. Tried clearing data. Grabbing a French IP and I'm finally in.
Once logged in I can release the vpn and I'm still logged in. Never ever ever had this with the old server. This is looking like a cookie issue (?)

 

[itzmered]

Sorry to tell you this but it really sounds like a personal problem I think we are going to give you a banner for the member with the most forum issues

Here on AA, we see nothing wrong with your account.

You are the expert on this subject.... aren't you? I seem to remember saying you did managed hosting... No?
