Any one else have problems initially with logging on using Firefox? Have been experimenting with it lately but still having trouble with a couple of frequently visited sites including this one. Can't figure out if I need to download something to make it work.

I can get to the site without any problem but can't logon to the site. Don't get any error messages when I try to logon. It just simply doesn't seem to recognize me. No problem if I go back to IE and try to logon as it works right away.

Maybe a site admin problem of some kind?

no problems here

I occasionally have problems accessing sites via Firefox after I install upgrades to my Zone Alarm firewall. But, those anomalies go away after I
a) reconfigure Zone Alarm and/or b) clear the Firefox cache. I can't think of any other reason why you would be denied access. Perhaps you have an incorrect password saved.

I use zone alarm so perhaps that is the issue. Usually zone alarm gives me a message when it encounters a new request but I did not get one so far.

I wonder if it's somehow related to this:

I just downloaded Firefox at home last week, and I have been experiencing the exact same behavior. It seems to be a newer version than the one I use at work, which has no problems at all.

If I come across a solution, I'll be sure and post it to this thread.

I did find a solution. I googled "firefox login problem" and found a post that said "I cleared all cookies and sessions and the problem went away." I followed that advice (Tools - Clear Private Data - uncheck Browsing History and Cache, check Cookies, leave Authenticated Sessions unchecked - Clear Private Data Now) and it's working fine.

This reminds me of...

This reminds me I have to install Firefox on my new computer, as I did on my old one. The IE gremlins are hitting already.

Thanks! I will give that a try.

That did the trick. Thanks!
