Log In on Firefox

Post by SaxyIrishTenor »

I've made the jump to Firefox and have noticed that I have trouble logging in on AZZ. I click the log in button and it sends to me to forum page, but I'm not logged in. Occasionally, the page will simply refresh when I hit log in. Is this something others have faced before, and how do I fix it? I haven't noticed this problem on other pages, just this one.

I am having a login issue with Firefox too. I click the "Auto Login" box, but it doesn't keep me logged in now. I have to log in everytime I come to AZZ. Any ideas?

Since we are discussing computer issues, can any of you computer geniuses tell me how/why my virus protection software can get randomly turned off without any user interface? FWIW, my computer is also randomly shutting down and restarting as well. Once it restarts, it sends an error message to Microsoft about a "Stop Error", but offers no solutions. :?

I didn't have the login issue with version 1. Only started after I upgraded to version 2.

I use Firefox exclusively both on the PC and Mac platforms. I haven't seen the issues you guys are describing. My guess is it's eithher a caching issue or cookies though.

To make sure Firefox is accepting cookies (which is NOT a bad thing contrary to what the media leads you to believe) go into the tools menu and then select options. Click on the privacy tab and then either check "Accept cookies from sites" in order to allow cookies for all websites, or if you don't want to go that route, you can leave it unchecked and add www.ay-ziggy-zoomba.com to your exceptions to allow.

I have firefox set to delete all cookies everytime I close the program. Exceptions being this site and one other forum that I frequent. I very rarely have problems logging in. Once in a great while though.

i once had a problem staying logged in on this site, but i figured why i wasn't staying logged in. I clicked save password when firefox asked if wanted too. That didn't let me stay in logged in everytime. So i changed it do not save password for this site and i now am logged in always. did you maybe do that???

Yeah, I did, and so I fixed it, and it worked for about an hour or two, and now it's being cranky again.
