Firefox vs. Internet Explorer

Today my computer is acting very strange. I downloaded Firefox about a week ago and I have been visiting this site without a problem. However, today, I could not login. I submitted my name and password several times and got the welcome back screen thing and I was still not logged in. Then I went back on Internet Explorer and it's working fine as always. Is this a one time fluke or is there something wrong? Any one have a similar issue? Any advice?

Yes.

In Firefox go to Tools>Options

Select the Privacy tab then "Show Cookies"
 Browse down the list until you come to "progarchives.com" click on the name and then click "remove cookie"

Log out of PA then Log back in and everything should be fine.
Worked for me.

That worked perfectly.
Thanks Tony!

I use Firefox and have never had that problem. I'd also pick Firefox over Internet Explorer any day. It's faster and more practical to use.

You're welcome.

Have you installed adblock plus? If not get it from the Firefox add-ons page and then block every advert on PA.

Nothing's perfect, though. What bugs me about Firefox is that it is the most resource consuming program I use; for examples it consumes a double amount of memory than IE. I just checked. When they're both started on blank page, Firefox is shown as consuming 28824K of memory, and IE with only 15828K. After loading www.progarchives.com, Firefox is shown with a 45735k consume, and IE with only 26396k. And that really "hurts", especially when having a crappy old computer like mine, with only 256M DDRAM...

In my opinion, if you manually block everything you're missing most of the functionality of Adblock Plus. If it weren't for subscriptions there'd be no real advantage over using the Opera content blocker.
