Firefox cookies/login issues. - GoFuckYourself.com

=^..^= · 09-01-2006, 07:31 AM

im having a problem with loggoing into various sites using firefox.

it keeps dropping cookies and some sites I cannot login at all.

example:
when i go to a site that requires login I enter user and pass/ hit enter but then the page reloads and its asking me to login again - as if i never entered the first time.

whats weirder - here at gfy it logged me out and logged my partner in! My partner only uses IE and I was using the computer for a couple of hours before this so I know it wasn't him who logged me out/him in.

Any suggestions how to fix this BS?

What timezone are you set to? Try changing your local time a few hours forwards or backwards and see if that 'fixes' it. I've seen this problem where the browser seems to assume the cookie expire time is in local time, rather than GMT, so if your local time is far ahead of your server time then the cookie expires immediately.

Thanks for the heads up - I'll try that
