I'm using Firefox & I can't log onto DU...

[LaPera]

I had to use Internet Explorer to post this thread.

Does anyone know what I can do to make adjustment to Firefox?
Thanks!

1. Does it give you an error message?

[LaPera]

5. No, I just log in with my user-name & password...

and it takes me to the forum in DU I want to go, but, I can't post...it tells me I have to log in...I keep logging in but it doesn't seem to recognize my user-name or password or either?

And I want to get out of this user hell (Internet Explorer), myself.

12. Thank you Florida_Geek-That did the trick! I'm sending this via FIREFOX!!!

I'm outta pop up hell (IE) and back among the living...

It was a quick fix, I just deleted my cookies and now I'm in.

Thanks again!!!

6. Today's the first time I've had this

problem with firefox

[LaPera]

8. So you think that's the problem? Just something wrong today?

Is ANYONE logged on today using Firefox

[hickman1937]

13. I was in this morning on firefox

Then left for awhile, and couldn't get back in till I switched to EI. AAARRRGGG I forgot how annoying it is to get blocked by popups every minute.

16. I always use firefox with no trouble ;-)

18. I'm on Firefox

today (and almost exclusively now) and have no trouble logging in.
I even have it set up to remember name/password.

9. Is it a new build?

I use Opera myself, but I also use Moz on occassion too.

Did you recently install a new build of Firefox? That might be the problem. Otherwise "Ask The Admins" would be worth a look.

10. I use Firefox

exclusively and had trouble getting into DU a few weeks ago. Turned out to be hub trouble way down the line.

11. It can be a cookie thing

Also-try the Avant Browser-configured very much like IE, has popup blocking, flash supression and tabbed browsing.

I am on using FF...I have had to go through and figure out which 2 cookies to delete and go into my cookie manager to reset the DU Cookie (Allow) and once I deleted all my cookies and reimported them from IE (Firefox 1.0 allows cookies only re-importation)

On Edit: Avant URL http://www.avantbrowser.com/

15. Are you...

Using the FF feature that allows you to open more that one webpage using tabbed browsing at startup?

[hickman1937]

17. Huh?

[lateo]

19. When you start your browser...

Does it open to more than one page? Do you know how to use tabbed browsing?

[hickman1937]

21. No I'm really compustupid.

And not proud of it

[lateo]

23. Ok...

I have had this problem with my firefox browser also. I thought it was because I had multiple tabbed web pages opening when I started my browser.

I noticed that when DU goes to the Phase One of features that are disabled that is when I can't log in using FF.

22. Hi,

I've been using FireFox today and logging in to DU without any problems.

You might repost this in the Computer Help and Support Group .

DU Computer Help Group

Some of the DUers hanging out there really understand FireFox.
